Is m&a integration / separation good for understanding what each function of the business does and how they interface which each other? Does the experience transfer well to an operating role?

Yes to first question

Potentially to second. Managing a P&L requires more of a commercial mindset, which I am not sure you get much experience with in PMI/SMO work

It's a great way to understand what each function of the business does and how they interface with each other. The experience of working on an M&A integration/separation can be a valuable asset in an operating role. In an operating role, you will need to be able to understand the different functions of the business and how they interact in order to make informed decisions and to drive the business forward.

What is the difference between a Software Engineer I and II? When do you know you're ready to leave your first great SE job? Is there a way to get more money without leaving? I've been at my current company for maybe and year and a half but I'm not sure if I'm good enough to leave yet. My manager always says I'm doing well and I got promoted from SE I to SE II a few months back. I'm not sure if it's imposter syndrome or not but I just don't feel confident about interviewing at other places

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
