I’m at a boutique firm. How many years and to what level should I stay if I want to exit to a controller or VP of accounting position in industry? What type of experience should I be getting? Right now I’m doing a variety of work: technical accounting memos of different topics like 606, 718, 805, IFRS transition, FS drafting, etc.

Sounds like you have great technical experience so keep that up. I think getting familiar with month-end close procedures is important if you want to be a controller/accounting VP. It can be way more complex than a couple reconciliations and that’s what you would typically be in charge of.

So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason.
