> Don't get me wrong, people will expect you to write good and clean code.

I can agree with this. Clean code is not "celebrated" because it is expected as normal. You won't get a raise for it. You could get problems for not writing clean. But when the business gets into a tight spot, they will accept shitty code that fulfills their desired goal over a nice clean and elegant solution delivered few days later. In this case, the shitty code could get you a raise.
