Thoughts on resume length? How many years of experience should you have before you expand to 2 pages?

Other companies and managers may have a different opinion on this, but I think everything a hiring manager needs to know can be summarized on one page. If you have over 10 years of experience and more than five recent employers, all I want to know about is what you've done in the last 10 years. I don't care if you bagged groceries at Piggly Wiggly when you were 16. The resume should be relevant, rational and recent.

I don't really think two-page resumes are a bad thing anymore. I feel like a lot of people used to say that if you go beyond 1 page you'll lose their attention, but nowadays with all the AI screening, I dont' really think it matters if you go to 2 pages. Any recruiters in here correct me if I'm wrong though
