99.9% of the time, you'll only need one copy of ExpressionEngine's index.php file, and it should live in the webroot:

www/index.php

Your .htaccess file with those mod_rewrite rules should be placed in the same directory as index.php:

www/.htaccess

Those mod_rewrite rules will work for all URLs that are children of that directory, including /careers.
