Having been a hiring manager for a few years... I can say that degrees have only really mattered to me when the applicant hasn't any real experience to speak of in the industry.

Experience is king, plain and simple.

That said, the best post-experience education I've received is self study in algorithms... If you haven't had the exposure from your time achieving your EE degree, do yourself a favor and hit up Kahn Academy or Coursera (or others) for a course, you won't regret it.

Lastly, build yourself a strong LinkedIn profile if you haven't already, as my best leads have come from there almost exclusively.

Is there a particular algorithms course you'd recommend in there? I did some intensive reading recently on algorithms, but a well structured course will definitely help. Most of the material I came across so far aren't very close to practical life
