Not who you asked, but it&#x27;s not been an impediment to me. I&#x27;ve worked at 4 person companies and 100,000 person companies and the masters degree has never been an issue expect I make more money than those without it. I do full stack javascript (Node&#x2F;Angular).<p>If you don&#x27;t have a CS degree, getting a more technical degree couldn&#x27;t hurt you, but it&#x27;s more about the opportunity cost.<p>The masters degree is certainly not that useful for Web development, but it&#x27;s a lot of fun and was pretty enjoyable to interact with smart people. It&#x27;s also helped to have more formal learning in things like compilers for the few times I&#x27;ve needed to write a parser, etc.
