Yes, you should be able to step into an L3+ pretty easily. Reach out to some other SDEs around you and see what gaps in knowledge you might need to fill in and how to position yourself. Also can get an idea of teams you like.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
