And from experience I can say there is a shockingly high number of people with Masters in Comp Sci churning through the hiring pool who can't write a single line of code or even valid HTML.
I don't know why this is, but I think a Masters is getting a negative reputation to the point that you might consider not listing it on your resume at all in certain cases.
However, since its one of my life's dream to get a MS in CS from US, I will do it.
Is this notion prevalent everywhere in US?
Shouldn't it be otherwise, like the student is hardworking and is persistent enough to get a Masters?
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.
>> 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?

Would like to hear your opinion on this, please.
