      40 is young to be a senior developer.

      thought having more than 5 years of experience makes you a senior dev

        You become a senior dev when you hold enough of the secret knowledge in your head that they don’t dare sack you.

      I’m a principal dev (the step higher than senior in my company) and I’m under 40. I think it mostly depends on luck and being in the right place at the right time.
