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.
