Careers

Hi!

Thanks for your interest in working with C4E. I am Saurabh, one of the founders at C4E and I will be your chaperone while you are trying to work with us! I am super excited to see what we can cook together. This is our careers and hiring page and each person that comes into C4E has to cross this “roadblock”.

It’s imperative that you see this document before you talk to anyone at C4E for any role.

Please note the following…

Even though we are a small team, we are VERY choosy. The hiring process is needlessly long. And you will have to bear with us. And this process is there for a reason. If you are not willing to go through this, we may not be able to work together.
You will have to fill this form.
We try to be as direct, transparent and open. We will often mention the roles, the money on offer and other things. We will NOT be able to negotiate. If you find those numbers less, please do NOT apply.
We are highly indexed on writing – even for a non-writing role. If you think writing is boring, we encourage you to NOT apply.
Please start by reading this document – Why not work with us – link.
Before you start reading the links or fill in the form, please know that you will have to make a PPT or a video about one thing you love. To finish filling out your application, you will have to attach that link.

Before you apply, please take a look at the following things…

Finally, when you join us, you make C4E your home. And that means we become your second priority (after family and health). Making anything your second priority is a big decision – and it is either a hell yes, or a hell no.

If you don’t understand these, or if you dont subscribe to anything that I have listed on the documents above, there are odds that things will not work between us. Please do not apply and save each other time 🙂

If you do, however, agree with things that I have mentioned above, I INSIST and URGE that you apply. We are probably destined to work together and it would allow us to live an engaged, fulfilling and enriching life!

Over to you!

Thanks,
Saurabh Garg / C4E

NOTE: Before you fill in the form, please make a PPT or a video about one thing you love. To finish filling this form, you will have to attach that link below. If you do not attach it, we will not go ahead with a conversation.

PS: This form is needlessly long. The intent is to get only those people that can go thru the pain of filling a form! There are 20 questions and three sections. You will need about 20 minutes to fill this in. One of the people that we recently met told us that it took them 3-4 hours and an existential crisis 😀

PPS: We have taken liberal inspiration from people while designing this. Some of them include Ankur Warikoo, Utsav Somani, and more.

PPPS: Please fill this from a computer (and not an ipad or a phone). Lot of people have mentioned that they are unable to do so from a mobile device.
