First and foremost, I don't think a second Bachelor's degree is rational in any scenario. If you are going to spend the money to augment your education with another degree, make it a Master's degree.
I think there's an argument for doing a professional Master's degree if your undergraduate degree is in an unrelated discipline. I still believe a research Master's degree is a more valuable use of time, but a one-year professional Master's degree could also be valuable in that scenario.
However, the caveat is that since you won't be learning anything you can't learn on your own, you should probably go into this for the signaling effect. Large tech companies don't require undergraduate degrees in a specific discipline (or any undergraduate degree at all for that matter), which means the university name is the thing you're paying for that you can't do on your own. In consideration of this I wouldn't do a Master's degree unless it was from a top 20 or so school.
