> Get my Master's?

No, not worth it. A bachelor's in comp sci can be a handy credential. But anything past that has diminishing returns.

A US based Masters is very helpful for immigration, if the OP is interested in working for US companies in the US.

A Masters in comp sci/eng may make sense for someone with an unrelated Bachelors. Otherwise, I agree. There are some employers who prefer candidates with PhD and grudgingly accept Masters, and really grudgingly accept Bachelors... But based on my experience with colleagues with PhD, I really don't want to work there (I've got a BS CE).
