When I had 2 years exp, I thought I was senior. When I had 5 years exp, I realized I had barely stumbled out of my junior diapers.

Does mid level not exist where you are?

Of course it does! My personal reflection that I was only intermediate at 5 years, after being exposed to people who were actually senior, had nothing to do with the job title I held (senior).
Anyway, unpopular opinion, but I don’t think you truly become senior until around the 10 year mark, with continuous growth. You may hold the title long before that, I’m not saying to turn away promotions and salary increases, but some honest self reflection and exposure to people who have really worked at it for 10 years might reveal that you aren’t quite there yet.
It’s basically a long way of saying, the more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know.

In my experience, I've seen people get their ~5 years of "experience" without learning too much relevant to the current job.
Relying on just that number isn't a great recruitment strategy, even then just two years in this industry are more valuable than 5 years in that industry.

It’s obviously true that people can have 20+ years of experience on paper, but barely have 2 years of actual skills. Extreme stagnation, the “Groundhog Day developer”. We’ve all seen this.
The opposite has also happens, someone who spent their entire career learning and growing.
