Ask HN: Is it worth it to get a masters degree in CS for SWE?

Hello everyone. I need some advice on whether to pursue a Masters after finishing my Bachelor degree.

I've tried doing some independent research on this, and the answer I've arrived at is: it depends!

I am currently in my second year of University in London, and while studying I'm also doing a part-time SWE internship at LEGO. This will continue in my third year, and it looks like I will be offered a job once I graduate in 2024.

With that in mind, would it make any sense for me to go for a Masters degree and delay working in industry for one year?

I'm mostly thinking in terms of opportunities in the future and personal development.

I should also note that my current University is not very prestitious, but my grades are excellent, so I believe I could be accepted into a better one for a MSc.
