A hiring manager in Austin said my 6 page resume was a red flag, and I keep chewing on it
She mentioned that in 15 years of screening she has never once read past page two, which stung because I had spent a full weekend polishing pages three through six.

Wait, she's never read past page two in 15 years? That seems wild to me. Like not even once, not even for a senior role where someone might actually have a long history worth showing. I get that hiring folks are busy and short resumes are easier to scan, but saying it's a red flag feels like a stretch. You spent a whole weekend on pages three through six and she basically told you that time was wasted, which just feels harsh.
