Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

What were you doing during that 2.5 year gap? You can fill in that gap if you were you taking any classes, volunteering, taking care of someone, etc. When it comes up in an interview, Be Honest and Brief: State the reason (e.g., "I took a planned career break to focus on a personal health matter/caregiver responsibilities") and immediately pivot to the present.
Do some networking. Friends, family, collogues can all be a resource to help you out.
My first job in the accounting field was tin part thanks to a friend of the family. A friend of the family had recommended for a job that was about to open up at the company they worked at.
10 years experience and no one owes you a favor or at least a reccomendation? Networking has become so important these days to bypass the resume hell
Agree with above - put it in your resume clearly and concisely. “2.5 year intentional gap for X” and networking does go a long way in these circumstances
