I was asked to join an agency on a freelance basis but nothing has been discussed with regard to rate since my first interview when I gave a range...do I state my rate now or ask if they can do X?

They’ll nail the rate down when they really bring you in

Agree with ^^ and let them go first

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
