Like I said "if they had to".
You still have to make a compelling case.
Surely you have seen teams with 3 solution architects when they don't even really require 1?
Or teams with contractors who have been in the same team on contract 5+ years?
The problem is most senior devs don't even collect the information they need to make a compelling case.
Like if I asked you how much more productive are you than a new (3-6months) senior dev on your project? Would you be able to show me?
I'm ~14x more productive on my current project than a newly hired senior dev and can give you the jira queries to prove it.
