Will a 3-year career gap absolutely kill my future?

Hello everyone,

Please let me know if a 3-year career gap will be a problem for future opportunities. I am a bit concerned about how difficult it might be to find a job or if my CTC might be significantly reduced.

Reason for gap: Government job exam preparation
Experience: Close to 4 years

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
