You get to put it on your CV. Probably see some cool papers before they come out. And train your discriminator as the other comment says

I also did quite a bit of reviewing this year despite being new to ML, I think reviewing 1-2 papers is good for a new person but the marginal benefit decreases sharply when you review more

I've never actually seen people putting conference reviewing info on their CV. For more senior researchers, being on the committee or something sure, but never really seen just putting being a reviewer in. Also, unless someone gets "great reviewer" awards or something, just being a reviewer doesn't really say a lot, does it?

I just put it in a line under my “service” section, (e.g Reviewer: conference1 (year), conference2 (year)) most other grad students I know do the same. When you’re at a more senior level it might not matter as much anymore though.

Yeah, I never did it (as a current grad student) not because I didn’t think it was an important task. But rather thought that it's just something that everyone does/should do and doesn’t add anything to the CV.

Maybe I should add a line like that as well.

It says that you understand that the community functions by the service of its members, and that you're willing to carry a share of that load.

Meh, no one cares if this is on your CV.

Not true, it makes a little difference for early grad students applying for competitive external funding
