title available, have you had peers who had your same title who got promoted while you didn't? Is there a reason why? If you don't know that reason, having honest discussions with your manager would be a good idea - being sure they know what your short and long term career goals are, and discussing the plan with them is important. A good manager would be prompting you for those types of discussions, but it also shows initiative if you're bringing it up.
If there is a Senior title for your role, what is it that Seniors do that you don't? Additional responsibility? Projects? In addition to your manager, talk to those Seniors. If it interests you, find out how you can help with some of that additional work - volunteer for a project, figure out what your team's annual objectives are and think about how you can have an impact.
The corporate world is a game - if you're in it then you might as well play to your advantage. Don't sit back expecting things to be handed to you. Most jobs don't give promotions purely on tenure/seniority - they are looking at the people who are making a visible impact outside of what is assigned to them. And in some cases you need to apply for a different role (either within the same company or elsewhere) to make big jumps in salary. I've never gotten more than around 4% raises in salary on a year to year basis while in the same role, regardless of my performance. My big salary jumps (20-25%) have been from applying for different roles (in my case within the same company, but don't be afraid to branch out.)
