Varun's response indicates a desire to understand the seniority of the role, which is a relevant and important question. However, the phrasing is somewhat vague and lacks the professionalism and clarity found in the benchmark response. The benchmark response effectively communicates the same inquiry while also expressing appreciation for the information provided and explaining why this detail is important for his understanding of the role. To improve, Varun should aim to articulate his questions more clearly and professionally, ensuring that he conveys the significance of the information he seeks.
