Senior manager. At that level the firms helps place you so you are a friend of the firm and it gets you recruited for higher level positions

To help specify, at what level should you leave PA to go to industry to get that role? Is it best to stay until director or better to leave at a lower level and try to work your way up?

You stay until director and you stay. No point in leaving when you already on top. Leave at Manager.

The highest level is MD of Tax, Director of Tax or Global Head of Tax, depending on the company. Definitely need to be SM in PA to get those.
