• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn/index profiles and a Jagiellonian University "Informatyka Analityczna" alumni page list Michał Glapa as a Software Developer at Jane Street (London), with a prior Jane Street Developer Internship (Jul-Sep 2016) and a Google STEP internship. Jane Street Capital (janestreet.com / janestreetcapital.com) is a global proprietary trading firm and market maker, i.e. genuine quantitative finance; a software-developer role and a developer internship there are actual roles/internships, not student programs, insight days or offers. Identity is corroborated across sources (IOI 2014 Poland silver medalist, born 1995, V LO Kraków). Caveat: no independent primary source (no Jane Street page) states the employment, so the claim rests on the index/aggregator plus the university alumni page, which are not independent primary confirmation.
