You sound right in so many ways.
>> Getting right after school.
Isn’t getting some real work exp before joining Masters a good thing?
>> 5 year MS
Never heard of such a thing. Is there one?

A 5 year MS is where you get both a BS and MS in 5 years. So basically you graduate a year late.

Thanks.

Would like to hear your opinion on this, please.

Don't ask me! I never got a Master's, and if I did get one, it wouldn't be in CS. In general I think work experience would inform your course selection or the decision to get an MS in the first place. That's pretty much the main way it would affect it.
With more information, like why or how they got an MS, the probability distribution changes. My impression is, there's a set of dimwits from a dimwit part of the industry that decide they should get a Master's in order to better their career. As opposed to, say, getting one right after school because you didn't want to enter the real world, or because a 5-year MS seemed like a good idea, or being brainwashed in general about the value of formal schooling.
