un hombre sin ventaja competitiva.


Explanation:
he localizado el contexto ahora - creo que se trata de "competitive edge"

For the ambitious, those early years at small newspapers were a scramble to get noticed, to shine brightly enough to catch the eye first of the local editors, then of those at bigger papers, and then on up the ladder to editors at the top newsrooms across the country. It was a fierce winnowing. Little wonder that his co-workers in those years found Arthur a man without an edge.
