    If you have any experience with modern web development, this could actually be a great opportunity. I'm in a similar situation with an application that is extremely old and running on Web Forms (and in VB.NET, god I hate that language). Pretty much every developer on my team has no idea how to build a modern web site, so I get to run pretty much everything related to modernization. It's great experience for the resume. I would recommend using DotVVM (https://www.dotvvm.com) for a rewrite. It's not very popular yet, but it lets you iteratively migrate web forms apps to a .NET Core compliant application. From there, you could rewrite even further into something like React.

    DotVVM is an ASP.NET framework that allows us to create web applications using the MVVM (Model, View, ViewModel) pattern with C# and HTML.

    I have one first step for the upgrade: Change WebForms to DotVVM. Sadly, that is already an enormous task :(
