What’s a good size for an experienced consultant (11 + years) resume? Is anything beyond a two pager a bad idea? I have hard time to shrink my resume down from my current 4 pages.

I just helped my dad shrink his from 4 down to 2 pages. He has over 20+ years of experience- it can be done, try consolidating, and only keep to high accomplishments of the oldest projects

Thank you. Did you still have the accomplishments separated by projects or just added all of them under one section?

You don't have to include every project.

Only include bullet points that make you attractive for the position you're considering. Nobody on earth needs more than two pages. Just highlight what you've actually done in brief statements and quantify the impact.

Did X by Y resulting in Z. Repeat as necessary.

Thank you

I transferred into advisory from another function at the firm. I had about a year of experience in the other group, some of which is transferable so I'm considered "experienced" hire. My salary was kept the same and I was just happy not to take a pay cut. Now I'm wondering what other associates in this group start at/make after a year for comparison. Any ideas? I'm based in NYC.
