Any feedback from anyone on number of pages in a resume: 1 page vs 2 page (which one you would prefer and why). I am applying for managerial roles at big4 and have 8 years of experience.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

1 page. Consider adding a side panel to highlight common thread skills across all prior jobs to save space. Like summarize 8 years of xyz experience in a box along the side vs explaining it under each role

Hey folks,

Yoe - 3.11
Skill - dotnet + azure
Current offer - cognizant 15 fixed + 45k vp

Today during HR Interview i was informed that they can offer me only 15 including 5% vp... Which was very less as I already have informed them during the first screening round for 17-18 LPA.

Hr said my application will reject for 17 for sure so she will try for 16.5 otherwise they can give 16 LPA

I am ver unsure, I am going to complete 4 years soon..

Cognizant put my candidature on hold after both rounds of interviews and HR ended up telling me that it’s coz of my current CTC. They will interview more candidates and accordingly get back to me . As of now, my candidature is “on hold”.

The interviewer asked me my current CTC only and no discussions on expectations have happened till now.
