Probably: (opinion only)

∙ TLDR

∙ One page is enough for keywords, which is all that software scans for.

∙ Recruiters don't have multi-page scanners. Just iPhones.

∙ If you have 20 years experience, (more than can fit on one page) you're too old to work in Silicon Valley.

I put "synopsis" at the top of my resume, and was asked how long I worked at Synopsis. I didn't.

Plenty of people with 20+ years of experience work in Silicon Valley.
