Varun's response is missing, which indicates a lack of engagement or preparedness to address the question about handling conflicting requirements. This absence suggests a significant gap in his ability to reflect on relevant experiences, which is critical in an interview context. In contrast, the benchmark response provides a clear and structured example of managing conflicting requirements between product management and customer support teams. It emphasizes the importance of organizing meetings, facilitating discussions, and finding a compromise that satisfies both parties. To improve, Varun should be prepared to discuss specific experiences and demonstrate his problem-solving skills in managing stakeholder conflicts. He could say, "In a project for a software development company, I managed conflicting requirements by organizing a meeting with both product management and customer support teams to facilitate open communication and find a compromise."
