The 100 year old question, should SWE resumes be 1 page?
As the title states, should a resume be required to be 1 page?
My concern is some people throw out 2 as soon as they see it, but it is difficult to encapsulate all important info on one page.
Let me know your thoughts

We get this question a ton and the answer is.... It depends. In our experience, if you have 10+ years of experience and are applying to high level Senior, Staff, Principal, or above roles, then a 2-page resume isn't so surprising. Recruiting for Senior+ roles is a little different because the skillsets are often more specialized and specific, so recruiters spend more time and will need more information on resumes to help make the case for those candidates.
If you're still junior or mid-level and are applying to similar roles, then a 1-page resume is something we recommend sticking to. The skillsets are usually more transferrable and you're not applying for a role with a highly specific set of qualifications, so keep it brief.
