I found one. Lawyer. But I had top credentials and took a pay and status cut.

No. After public practice, I worked mainly at investment banks.
That's the kicker.

If you are a 30s/40s professional woman, it is assumed you have been SAHMing.

Is this typical for your field or do you have other unique qualifications such as graduating from a prestigious school/program?
I think accounting is a very marketable skill. None of my CPA friends have any problems finding jobs. I did not graduate from a prestigious school but I did do my professional exams in the UK and most of my experience is in investment banking.

This obviously has nothing to do with demographics applying for UMC type of jobs. Fast food service? Maybe.
