I think so! A lot of creative people are actually VERY introverted, they just end up finding a network or partners that can take care of the more 'extroverted' biz activities, but I think you should consider putting yourself out there a little to get out of your shell

You can be as reserves as you want in you personal life, as long as you're able to flip the switch on when you need to. I'm guessing you want to be on camera, right? It's going to be a lot harder if you get flustered or have any type of performance anxiety, but you can learn about a lot of more quiet types still being able to make it in the industry.

Only if you can’t think of anything else you’d rather do. There is therapy for shyness and acting classes are good for that too

As an introvert, I got out of my shell through getting into friendships and conversations with people that did things that interests me . At 1st I was shy but through interest you become friends giving each other ideas and working as a group made an extrovert. However assisting the people that are used to doing the business that interests me made me feel more comfortable to do it on my own

Absolutely! I am an introvert but that did not stop me from giving my job everything I got! Over time, you will get used to what you need to do and the people around you so you will come out of your shell and feel more confident.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years.

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
