I spent 2.5 years flying A320/A330 mixed fleet.

It's surprisingly straightforeward. Biggest issue is the size difference and you need to think about your wingtip clearance and mainwheel location while on the ground.

Now I fly A330/A340 mixed fleet. Biggest issue is the huge difference in performance between the two types. System architecture is the same.

I've also flown 757/767 on a common type rating.

Airbus is well ahead of Boeing in terms of commonality between different aircraft types.
