Question on resume page length…

I’m 44yo with a professional resume that starts right out of college. The majority of my career was at one company where I climbed as high as possible without being a people manager. I want to show the career growth and highlight my account/project achievements but it’s making my resume 3 pages long. Is that excessive? Struggling to find the balance and choose what to include and what to leave out.

Are all of those roles relevant to the roles you're applying to? Are you moving industries? Are you wanting to lead next?

Tons of questions here. The first thing to know is there's no CORRECT resume length. Anyone who says otherwise is a doofus. It's about the information not about capturing a certain amount of time. It doesn't matter if you were a PM for 6 years if you can't adequately capture achievements and results

Would you mind sharing your resume with info redacted?

Agree with recruiter 1; however, I’d get bored reading 3 pages of things. It’s too much to retain in evaluating a candidate, just saying.
