I know this question might be too general, but usually how long it takes from just starting to look at opportunities to landing a role in industry? I started to feel strongly about quitting my current role, but am worried I would stuck here before having an opportunity lined up.

Appreciate any personal example or advice to find an exit

Depends how picky you are. I am picky and have been applying somewhat casually since January. Only to really good roles, and pushing the title a bit.

If you are a decent candidate but don't get an offer, recruiters at companies start knowing you and it becomes much easier to get interviews once a new role is published.
