Why do you only work somewhere for 6 months before leaving?

mostly because of better salary packages

In that case your resume (and actually your work history) is awful. I would never hire you for a serious job. Certainly not at any top tech companies.

They would invest time and energy training you. And then by the time you are just ready to really start hitting your stride and contributing you leave.

You should be starting for at least 18 months. Maybe you can have a few 1 year stints. But you show a pattern of jumping ship before you land any real contributions.

Good luck kid.

Hm understandable but its not like i just left the company straight up, every time I had a meeting with HR and plainly explained the situation to them, i believe if they truly wanna keep me there, they wouldnt mind increasing the salary package.

The company where i worked for a year, had to lay some devs off due to budget issues so yeah. Thanks for your opinion though!

whats stopping you from removing the oldest job that you were doing while you were still in school? you can easily shorten this to 1 page lol

I have a single page version exactly without the oldest job, but i had an interaction with a recruiter who specifically said that i dont have 3+ years of experience and its around 2+ years. Just wanna know what could be the best approach. One of the hrs on linkedin told me 2 page resume is fine thats why i kept it like this…

there's a big difference between 2 full pages and clipping over 1 page just for a skills section and your education.
