I'm old chunk of coal so I had to remove my first job from my resume and remove the dates for the college

I did the exact same thing. My degree and college are there, but not the dates I attended, and my first two jobs have disappeared. I'm thinking about removing another couple of jobs and cutting my experience down to 12 or 13 years.

If you are an old chunk of coal then I am one of the original trees. I removed my college dates as well as the first 20 years of my CV, and I am thinking about removing some more.

I might be a current tree, but I'm just a permanently stunted sapling. Seems like a chunk of coal is more valuable.

I always thought that as a very senior developer, one would just add more pages to their resume, not remove their career history.

A 10 page resume scares some people

I know exactly how you feel. After 20+ years industry experience I went back and did my PhD in SE, taught as an adjunct for a while. But since being made redundant by my uni I have trouble landing a suitable job. Yet, I taught dozens of SEs in the latest technologies and have kept my skills up to date. Of course, I trim my CV, but still ....

Heh. I finished my degree just last year though I’ve been working in the industry for 15. I wonder if having it up there will make a difference.
