In my opinion masters are not worth it unless someone else is paying for it.

The line between scripting and software development means a lot less when you’re writing ETL pipelines. I don’t think you’d have too much to worry with if you’re comfortable with something like Python from a devops context.

Speaking for the teams that I lead, do a little work with Airflow, have something approaching expert level SQL skills, be able to talk about Python requests, pypetter, and related libraries/tools and you’d have a good shot at getting an interview.
