I would not recommend a masters. It's done nothing for me. It seems job experience and references would be better. The portfolio idea is good, if you can also work in some collaborative projects to show you can work on a team.

Frankly, with the job market the way it is right now, you can probably find a job as-is. Just don't expect a big name or interesting work.

I agree completely with this statement. I received a technical masters from a Nordic country.

For me, nothing would be considered an upgrade. It was a major loss in nearly every aspect.
