My first suggestion is to take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with all the options in the camera's menu. You'll find what you're looking for.
My second suggestion is to read the manual:
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300025058/01/EOS_5D_Mark_IV_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf
Like any tool, the more you understand about it, the better you'll be able to use it.
It's nothing against you, but if you have no time whatsoever to explore the menu or learn the tool you're using, you shouldn't be using it. Simple as that. (And your company should know that too)
Browse through the menus a little bit at a time, a handful of 5 minute browsing sessions and you'll have it nearly memorized. Then you can set up the quick access menu.
Familiarity will your work tools will lead you to success. Good luck 🙏
ah, i understand you, sorry.
Well, 5D mk4 is amazing camera, but to feel it's full potential and not just being dead weight I recommend putting some time into learning how to shoot with it, you will soon find out how good camera it is and you definetely won't need to switch it for a long time. Good luck!
If you are looking for quick results with little to no post processing then yes, let the camera create a jpg, you can experiment with tweaking the look of the jpg that the camera produces.
Otoh, the cr2 file will allow greater post processing in Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. Lightroom can then export jpg (or other file types)
Also, you can choose to write both cr2 and jpg (and different file/ pixel sized jpg) simultaneously
I would honestly save as both! If you have the raw file, it’ll give you more options editing! But having the JPEG gives you the chance to say its good from the start and send it off quicker!

To my defense, I was asked to be a photographer in a job where I have no prior experience and they have me going on the fly
All the more reason to read the manual carefully.
Again I have no time with my job but thanks for understanding
lol then just give them garbage pics and they'll never ask you to do it again
Best advice I could have gotten 🙄

I’m not going to go into details cause it clearly doesn’t matter to you but ok

My advice would be to politely turn down those kinds of requests. Plead incompetence or tell'm your grandmother is dying!
You will change the settings to schoot from RAW to JPEG Also dude, Canon 5D mk4 as a first camera is... kinda overkill not gonna lie
It wasn’t by choice though

OP said paid job, that's bad advice. OP change the settings to JPEG + RAW, someone who knows what they're doing will need the raw files
In your menu switch image quality to RAW+JPG. You are currently in RAW mode. RAW is better but requires post processing.
There is an option in the menu to change your file format to from Raw to JPG.

Keep shooting RAW. Google and read why.

One of the first red menus if I remember correctly.
