Recommendations for first-time credit card? 👶🏼

Looking to put 10k into ibonds (maybe another 10k next year but not sure yet). Is treasury site easy enough to use? I initially stayed away because I heard it's awful but if set up is doable then I'll reconsider.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
