For those who left PA for industry, how long did it take you to find a new position? I finally decided to leave and now am so impatient to get out. I am a SM in tax now.

At the SM level it is more difficult to find that perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, patience has to be your number one priority. Otherwise you will end up at a place you do not like. I had been trying to get out for almost 3 years and had to exercise patience --- my dislike for the partners and their ways is beyond words. Luckily, the patience paid off and I landed two amazing opportunities.
