Unfortunately, this is where the incentives of the company and that of the employee diverges. For the employee, if they choose some simpler, appropriate model or solution to the problem, they will not be able to get that next DL job. Especially early in their career. I cannot bring myself to do resume driven development, but I understand why people do it.

But you probably don't need a DL job. As my dad always said, as long as you make them/save them money, they'll never fire you.

I know that I (as a DS Lead/Manager) would hire someone who uses an appropriate solution to a business problem above someone who has an intricate knowledge of applying PyTorch to inappropriate problems.

But maybe I'm in a minority here.
