Reflecting on one very, very strange year at Uber

I wouldn't qualify her as an industry veteran. This is not how things would have played out at a lot of the risk-adverse companies I have worked for. I'm sure it does at some places and it's no surprise to hear this about Uber TBH. Being just a couple years out of college, I'm not sure why you would expect her to understand all the shity ways the world can work.

I am not sure why this post was down-voted, but the first statement is correct -- the author of the post is early in her career and is not an industry veteran. She has about 2 years of working experience, and does not qualify as an industry veteran.

What qualifications does Susan lack that would make her an "industry veteran" in your eyes?

I would say that to be called an 'industry veteran', a minimum threshold of 5 years of work experience in that industry is a reasonable qualification.

I think that is debatable. She has apparently worked for four different companies, accomplished a lot and gone through quite some st already.
