Most of the time you will hear this community downplay the importance of post-graduate work in finding success in tech. This is true. You, by no means, need a master degree to have a successful career, monetarily speaking, in tech. However, If you want to work on problems beyond consumer applications or B2B crud, working on serious technical problems (machine learning, compilers, OSes, embedded, etc), then a Masters will certainly help. Do you need it? Probably not, but it isn't the resounding "No" that you hear when asking about success in startups or the middle-ware teams of the big four.
