Sixty seconds is a good target for a developer screen. One thing I'd add for career changers: lead with the explanation rather than the timeline. If the CV shows a jump from, say, support to frontend, say why in the first sentence, before the interviewer has to ask. It makes the rest of the answer land as evidence instead of defence.
