Beware that many masters programs from top schools are degree mills and the undergrads who went there know this and actively loathe them (based on their experience sharing classes with them). At least for my particular school. I remember helping out with resume screening at a job fair and we would sort everyone who went to that masters program to the bottom of the pile. A handful of them turned out to be good candidates on second pass, but it sucks that they probably would've had a better chance just leaving off their masters.

Thank you for mentioning this. So many people don’t realize that masters programs can be fairly worthless even from elite schools.
