By getting acknowledged by my peers. Knowledge is the first step, so you need to know your stuff. The second step is to sell yourself as such knowledgeable person. Know what’s your position in the team/area/company and ask to be compensated as such. If you are switching companies, you either switch as being already a senior or you do it pretty good at the interview. In any case, you still need to get acknowledged by peers once you start.
