Resumes are dumb. Nothing you did in anything but the prior job is really of any consequence for the next job. Especially if the prior job was more than a year. Things change too much. The stuff you did more recently is going to be what people are generally hiring for.

    No. 4 or 5 years in your most recent job? Maybe. If all you're doing is mindless web dev, maybe, but I've worked on several 6 month long projects that were all radically different over the last 5 years.

    Job history should contain atleast 5 years worth, sure you may not be working with the same frameworks or even languages, but it builds a view of your technical and professional history and where your headed professionally.

    If you've been in the same job for 5 years, or even 10 years, add the job or 2 prior, this shows you have some diversity and your entire career isn't based on a single companies processes, for better or worse.

    Your resume is there to sell and show your story / professional journey and how competent you are without an interview to explain that. The interview is a simple "you're resume peaked my interest, let's learn more"
