I've thought of going back for an MSc because it sounds kinda fun. Although probably in math rather than CS. I never thought it would be held against me though

  I don't think it would be held against you? Especially if it was "going back" for it. I think the uncharitable view people take of a Bachelors followed immediately by a masters but with no PhD is that they presumably weren't planning to go for a PhD, and given that, had the choice between a) doing 2 more years of school for very tenuous benefit and b) going directly into a job where entry level pays 1.5x+ the median household income in many states. And they chose a). So I think the uncharitable interpretation is then that the person was afraid of entering the adult world or felt like they couldn't hack it.

    Or that they washed out of a PhD.
