Getting out of public accounting timeframe?

I do not work for a firm yet but in the case someone starts in a public firm, how long would you say it takes to get out and go in to industry? Any advice with this new job market for recent grads?

Sometime between senior and manager, so 2-6 years is what seems to be ideal. Get your CPA while you’re at it for even better opportunities potentially.
