Masters degree matters. The fact that you graduated undergrad matters. The actual grades you earned do not.

If an applicant included their undergrad report cards or GPA with their resume, I would take this as a sign of naivete and would most likely slot this person as a junior engineer.

Conversely, if an employer ever asked to see my grades from undergrad as a condition of employment or promotion, this would be a major red flag for me.

Edit: Masters degree is less valuable for a typical web dev or SWE than years of experience in the industry. Specialties like ML/AI are an exception.
