When I was a PhD student, having 1 SIGGRAPH paper meant graduation, and 2+ for a top research job.
Now, having 1 SIGGRAPH paper meant admission into a top PhD program, 2+ for graduation, and 3+ for a top research job.
(20+ for a tenured professor or partner researcher, but few of you need to worry about this yet.)
Anyone who (still) thinks my standard is too high: feel free talk to Jun Xing, my first HKU advisee, about his current experiences in internship and job hunting.
