Hi, how difficult would it be to get back into the industry after a career break of a year.
I am very overwhelmed by some personal health situations of close family and feel I am unable to focus on work and take care of my personal aspect.

If I take a career break for a year how difficult would it be to get back into the industry? My concern is that I have 8+ years of exp in prototyping domain. But there are not many prototyping openings as it is.

it won't be much difficult. As long as you have domain knowledge.

See if you can work out a sabbatical plan with your current manager itself. They might be open to hiring you back if there is an opportunity after an year..

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
