Hi all I left my previous job as an AE due to low pay ($40k) and $0 commission for a AE position in the Saas world. In my first year I more than doubled my quota and was the top sales leader. My base is still very average and wanted to know when is it appropriate to ask for a raise?

It's all about context.

I'm in SaaS, and if one of my reps did 200% to quota on the year, they're making 500k+.

Thanks, should have provided more context. My base is 48k sold 1.4 million in sales and ended up around just shy of 100k

What is your current base and what size/volume of deals do you close?

Rough rule of thumb is that you should probably earn ~5-10% of the profit you bring in as commission, depending on your base and comp plan/accelerators.

You should most definitely ask for a pay rise, with those numbers, you are valuable to the company. Are your comms capped?

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
