Senior in this context often means >5 years. So if you are 30 you typically count as senior. I believe ~50% of my >10k coworkers are senior or above.

So, if you hit Senior at 5 years, what’s after that?

What about the guy with 25+ years of experience?

The other comment is correct. Another way to view it is at "Senior" you are able to keep yourself productive indefinitely. It is similar to journeyman in the trades but sounds fancier.
