You said it yourself, Masters graduates (usually) have no experience. They are less desirable than someone with a regular B.S. in this field. From my experience talking with recruiters and the people in charge of hiring at the companies I've worked for, they don't want to hire a Master's student because the extra schooling rarely makes them a better programmer and they have no real world programming experience (which is a LOT different than the kinds of things taught in class) Companies are afraid that a Masters student isn't going handle being dumped into the real world and will flee back to school for that PH. D.
Not trying to threadjack or anything, but I'm not even graduated and I've had so many job offers and interviews that it is hard to even wrap my head around. I guess it depends on your area, but I wouldn't call software development a saturated field.
Op, time to find a new job and buy that sports car! :happy0180:
