The tricky thing is that most of the times, the upward you get the more managerial the position, unless you are in a huge company; at least in my small country job market, technical jobs have just a couple of steps ahead and soon you get into managerial jobs, where being loud is part of the job, being quiet, no matter how talented or good engineer you are will result in smaller budgets, less importance in meetings, etc. Sadly introverted people are valued just by competent managers and those are scarce at best. I had to learn to get louder, having the right idea is useless if nobody hear it. W more vulnerable to feel powerless and weak and then resent those loudmouths that made the mistakes we quietly predicted.
We have to accept that extroverted people will tend to be on top, the time we spend doing the best we can, they spend networking and getting noticed. This is not always of course, but tends that way.
And finally beware what you wish for, often the most important part of a managerial job is to fight for your departments budget and to keep it visible to the rest of the company, most people easily understand the importance of sales, but understand the real importance of IT is not always as obvious, so a loud manager is often needed; sales and marketing departments are, by definition better selling themselves and their job. So if you, like me, prefer to quietly do your best, maybe don't aim for that job.
