Kind of in a slump after layoffs and crap annual. I work in e-commerce but feel like it’s time to move on… what’s a good step after AM or SAM?

I don’t have enough context to understand your situation. Are you feeling unfulfilled? Do you like commerce? Do you like the day to day of your job? If you had a poor annual review, I would dig in there and see why and see how you can improve as well as find insights on where are your skills/ where do you thrive?

I guess I would say I unfulfilled and under appreciated. I enjoy e-commerce and I enjoy the company and my job for the most part, but I’m doing the job of three people and the pay doesn’t reflect that. I did ask about the review and was given a few reasons but none of it was regarding my performance or skills (I fully understand somethings are out side of their control) but it doesn’t help when I outperformed and was given a lower
annual than my colleagues. I take pride in my work and I strive to exceed set expectations, and I did just that; however, being told you’re an average employee and finding out you got a lower raise has been a hard pill to swallow.
