I can see how that would very easily happen, but my experience is that it's easier to find a new job than get a raise. Eventually you'll get that senior position too.
Forbes magazine found a long time ago that the best way to get a raise in America is to find another job.
That was a long time ago though. Since covid the market has changed and it’s probably not as good of an idea to be a job hopper as it was.
It's still a good idea, the jobs are just more rare.
