Hi,

In reputation and achievement…

In both reputation and achievement…

Could you tell me the difference between these two sentences, please?

'Both' just adds some emphasis to the statement.

Whl626they mean the same thing.
To me, reputation means what others think of you, whilst achievement means the goals you have reached.
