🐠’s - I need to catch a flight in Milan to return to the U.S. What’s the best way to travel from Florence to Milan in Italy? If by train, are they on time per schedule (as to not miss flight)?

Does anyone use a brokerage account instead of a checking account? Mine offers a fee free debit/atm card and free checks which I'd rarely use but starting to question whether it is worth maintaining my "big bank" checking account that requires a $1500 minimum balance.

I also have a local credit union checking/savings that I'd use if I need any services or to deposit cash and a HYSA that gets my paycheck, is used for mortgage and credit card payments, and to transfer to checking or investments.

If I didn’t directly know the person, I’d interview to see how I do, but I don’t want to waste this person’s time for the time being. What would you do?

Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
