There's this job I'm interested in that's almost exactly like my first job after graduation. My dilemma is that I'm 5 years into my career, and including that first role pushes my resume to 2 pages. Are two-pagers still frowned upon? I could just show the relevant positions, but then there'd be gaps. Which is the bigger problem?

Do you have any fluff like objective, references, or summary at the top? If so, I’d get rid of it and see where you land.

One pagers are, I believe, far more preferred when feasible.

I don't think it matters that much. Two pages is usually fine, from what I've heard. I think the issue is when it starts to get into three or more pages, that's when you tend to lose most recruiters.

I generally don’t recommend a 2 page resume unless you have 10 years experience. 1 page is sufficient 5 years in. How many roles could you possibly have in 5 years?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters.

Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.

Loan payment question. I have two federal loans. One has no accumulated interest and is ~$110k. One has about $19k of accumulated interest (I previously made an embarrassingly low amount of money), but the total is ~$140k. While the interest is still frozen, do I: 1) make payments on the $110k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 2) make payments on the $140k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 3) make payments on the $19k of interest on the $140k loan; or 4) ??
