    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.

      Also, titles vary wildly among different roles at different companies. A junior dev in some MANGA team could be considered a principal engineer at a small startup.
