How many pages is your resume?

1 Page.
The rule of thumb is an additional page every 10 years of experience. Might be slightly different if you job hop.

I have about 15 years of experience, so I guess I'm in line there. It still doesn't feel like enough though.
How many bullet points are you using per role? At 15 years, I'd imagine you just want to touch on the biggest highlights for each role. So maybe 2-3 bullet points per role. With promotions in the company, just list the most senior position you had there before bouncing.
3 pages really is more for CVs at 15 years of experience IMO (at least that was the guidance I got when I worked at my Uni's career center).
Yep 2-3 with an overall summary of the project. I can email it to you if you want to see it. I'm thinking I may need a third page if I want to move into more management or leadership roles.
One. That’s the standard.
If someone has 20 years experience I would hope they aren't jamming it all on one page.

And for management or leadership roles, hell even some Senior positions, they want a section of your overall accomplishments without having to dig through job details. Unless it's single spaces at 9 point font, I don't see that happening, but for people with a shorter job history, it works.

I think very deeply
It's impossible (for me anyway) to list all my skills and experience on one page. I'm gonna do over my resume later in the year once I get more of my certs completed.
You shouldn’t even be listing ALL your skills and experience

I list whatever is relevant to the jobs I'm applying for. I have different resumes that highlight certain skills and experience, but it won't fit on one page.
Still think it’s too much. Maybe switch up the layout. Recruiters/HR folks are quick to bush resumes that exceed a page
