Depends on the role and your definition of extrovert vs. introvert. In non client facing roles you don’t have to be a party animal or anything, but you still need to be able to speak to people and communicate effectively.

^yes, us introverts are incapable of being likable or having large networks. Spot on MS1.

If you're in IB you're way better off being an extrovert. Likability in the office is really important, and making connections that are useful later in life is key as well

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
