How does working old stack affect my career opportunities later

In my last company I was on spring MVC project. But in my current company I'm working on old stack ( Jersey) and mostly doing bug fixing. I've been here for almost a year. Should I move out as I fear If I stay here for longer new opportunities will be difficult to come by. What to do?

Feature work helps grow your career, only bug fixes? Ask for a different project

Yes they moved me to a team where we only deal with customer defects

Keeping the lights on pays the bills. It's for some people and it's fine to do for a bit. The important thing, is are you growing?

Move unless they want to pay extra for that. “Opportunity cost” comes to my mind. And yes I understand that bug fixing is kind of critical, but such focussed experience would give me a signal that you are poor performer/communicator in an interview. Start refreshing with leetcode and begin your search bit by bit.
