Move dilemma:
Currently @ Arthur D. Little Limited Dubai as SE Manager w/ base comp of 285k $ + 10-15% bonus. Vert limited fit w/ people & projects in the region (MEI) & not motivated by seniors. Not happy w/ the job but good WLB. Very likely to promote to Pr which would include a 20-30% jump in total comp but shift to more variable
Move to MBB as PL. Projects & people are supposed to be great and he could see himself in the long run. Comp is 170k $ + 60% bonus. Will take 1.5y to move to Pr

Really don’t worry about it. Make it 2 if it needs to be 2, but just don’t fill it with fluff to get 2.

1 page. If you can’t make it clear in 1 pg, the seconds is not gonna do the trick. Pretty much regardless of level- exception for highly technical roles.
1 pg
3 bullets per experience
Remove internships etc
Add profile summary at top (3 key bullet points - change per application)
1 page. On one hand, in most cases the job you held 12 years ago isn't relevant to the job you're looking for today. On the other, depending on the job you're applying for and your age, this can actually be held against you-i.e., you're too old.
You're getting mixed answers because it depends on who you are, what your history is, what the job your applying for is, the company culture, your age, etc. You're applying to be CFO, sure, 2 pages. Academia, sure multiple pages. Youre counting the job you had when you were 18? Most cases, no one cares.
It can be 2 pages but that should include employment up to 10yrs of related work history. Just make sure the first page is the best and has all the critical info

One and done.
See you at the interview
