Seniority level is more dependent on your skill level. While looking for a mid level position I applied to some senior level positions and it generally boils down to "show me you have the skills and you might have the job". Furthermore some "senior level" jobs where actually looking for mid level devs. In the mid level dev segment getting around 50k€ is quite viable. When I was looking for a job multiple offers looking for actual senior backend devs with higher salary where open (through don't ask me for the rang of the salary, I don't remember as I'm not quite at the senior level yet).
