Very easy. Again it depends on person to person. What i find easy maybe very difficult for you. I know a guy who claims to work at Microsoft and do 90% of stuff with eyes closed 😁

Anything that i should worry about?

Why you want to tell firm when applying again that it was career break....for a year you can make good medical certificate with everything kept in order and rest 1 year any one will adjust....

Hmm that's a way around.
But will there be any problem even if i tell them i took a career break?

Vele baithne se acha hai ki you have something to defend....batane me koi harz ni hai....but defence majboot rahe to better hai....vaise bhi 1 saal ka career break to ho hi Raha hai...which is enough i believe....rest year covered for injuries and health....

It'll be easy if you try back in the same field.

Will be very difficult if you want to change domains within IT. They'll always doubt you and make you start from scratch.

I have experienced this first hand. I would suggest you to think twice, unless you have very high priority responsibilities.

PS: Ignore the above post if you are a coder.
