I would say, it depends, for me the answer was "I really hope yes". I just started the MS CS in Georgia Tech (100% online, 7,000$ total cost, not per year, ranked 9 in US) I didn't study Hebrew literature academically (although I like reading in Hebrew...) but my undergraduate degree in CS is from such an unknown college that I don't see how it differs from your degree in terms of job finding powers. I also feel that although I might be highly regarded in my current job, it will not transfer easily. So an MSc in CS from GT for me is some sort of a level up if you will, making my first degree Kosher. But the real reason I do it is because I feel I need it for the learning, I took some coursera courses here and there, and even finished some, but the fact you pay (although not much) for the courses at GT, makes you more committed. Bottom line, if you can afford to keep a full time job (or have enough savings to do it full time) then I would say go for it. It will make a difference in your career options, especially in the "big" names like Google etc... Having an MS is not a silver bullet, but it definitely won't hurt. There were times perhaps that I heard people say that they would avoid hiring MS CS students with no work experience. But times have hanged, MS in CS is no longer pure theoretical, the programs really make you a better programmer in my very humble opinion. And you have the experience as the basis, the MS CS is just a cherry on top.
