You have a Master's Degree. That means you have something that you specialized in beyond just general computer science. Take some of the cutting edge research in the field that you are familiar with, find companies that need that skillset or technology, find companies on Linkedin and email the CEO/CTO. That way you could potentially skip the entry level stuff and come in as someone with specialized knowledge from day one and probably get compensated as such. Stop trying to compete with people in the general arena where your Master's Degree doesn't even have any bearing.
