Once you reach a level of experience, don't bother writing down everything about your past work
Two pages are sufficient. First page should talk about your achievements, strengths, tech skills. 2nd page having your work experience from different companies mentioning only the employer name, date range, and your designation -
what @asgs said and ideally u prepare a separate one for each company leaving only the relevant parts and removing all that is not in the role u r applying to, but leaving a short section in style : ask for more exp. if needed ;)

@EmberQuill how about "I deal with 0s and 1s at varying levels"?

@asgs "Cloud" is more specific and relevant though, and "I know cloud" is basically true for almost any definition or subcategory of "Cloud." I've used every major cloud infrastructure provider. I've dabbled in almost every IaC language. I've dealt with almost every aspect of enterprise cloud from design to deployment to disaster recovery.

How HR department reads your resume vs how a programmer reads your resume 😂
With ~15 experience in the industry, I'm finding that my resume is getting increasingly unruly in terms of length.
I try to keep each role description to 4 or 5 targeted and concise bullet points focusing on achievements and responsibilities, with the older roles having as few as 2 or 3 bullet points. But after multiple roles at various companies over the years, my resume has hit the 5-page mark when including the summary, applicable tools/programs, certifications, and education.
I'm curious how others here deal with lengthy resumes. The overall length can definitely be reduced by switching to a different template, but even then I feel as though I'll run into the same problem with more length-conscious templates after a couple more roles in the future.
