As somebody who does a lot of interviews: I don't care about a master's degree. Anectodally it has a very low correlation with programming ability.

The market being flooded with CS degrees doesn't scare me, I'll start getting scared when it takes less than 6 months to hire for an entry-level role.

the pickiness of employers isn't itself a sign you should start getting scared?

That's not pickiness of employers it's a lack of qualified candidates.
