Getting a Masters helped me explore the areas of CS that I shied away from in undergrad or was too immature as a developer to learn. I started grad school after being in the industry for a couple years. I was working in an area that really cared about college and certs (Florida). Merely changing my resume to say I started the degree generated more LI requests/cold calls. It definitely helped in that I would later apply and get accepted in the Google Summer of Code. People can go ga-ga over it if you have Google on your resume but YMMV. I finished my degree back in 2013 and I believe I now get more play from the connections I've made than my degree. I would view a Master's as filling in the theory gaps that your bootcamp didn't have time to cover. It will probably make you a better developer but may or may not improve job chances but could be a good idea if you love to learn. I'd advise you to check out some of the Online Masters Degree courses from Udacity and see if you like them. You can decide later whether you want do a full program or just do them for free. MIT's OpenCourseWare courses are an option. I used their material on Algorithms to study for my grad school algorithms class and got an A- so it's legit. Disclaimer: I work for Udacity.
