30+ years is definitely a lot to condense. Have you heard of Jobscan before? Last time I updated my resume, I used it to tailor keywords and it was super helpful. I also worked with a resume editor from TopResume to help cut mine down to 2 clean pages by focusing on the last 10 years and summarizing earlier roles.
I've come around to the opinion that you really need to focus on what you've done in the last decade, and be vague about the rest. Perhaps you should draft a resume along those lines and see how it looks to you. Remember, you need to make an impression in ten seconds, so have something near the top that will grab someone's interest. I heard a recruiter recommend that people look at their own resume for ten seconds and assess what they got out of it. Sounds extreme, but that actually may be how long it takes for a resume to be sorted into the keeper pile or the discard pile.
