This is exactly where I am at right now. I have a million dollar mortgage and interest rates are going up. I'm keeping my head down and perpetuating technical debt until I can hop jobs for a higher salary.

Criticising the status quo is not a winning move for me, especially when it's lead to the company's engineering team tripling in size. If I'm asked, I'll pick some low hanging fruit– remove reliance on legacy/redundant JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, and spent time writing better unit tests. But so far I haven't been asked.
