But whose fault is it?

I just got hired by a company that was looking for a data product leader.

I only have 3 years of experience in data analysis, but the owner of the company thinks I am extremely capable of leading the company's data front.

Since I'm not attached to titles, concepts, and job definitions, I obviously accepted the offer because my salary doubled.

That's basically it. With the 2018-2022 boom of hirings, many companies just offered senior position for anyone that showed minimal experience, or promoted their juniors in an attempt to reduce turnover. Then we get here.

.. perhaps there are other considerations among management that resulted in selecting you, that are not obvious or even divulged
