I haven't heard nor seen a reason why I need a masters. Why? Grad job vacancies mostly ask for a degree in a numerate subject + other stuff.

legitimate machine learning or DS jobs tend to require further education be that a masters or a PhD - only the most exceptional of candidates (with some level of research under them) will get looks.

the roles advertising for just *any numerate degree* are not legitimate roles but are more glorified data analytics roles.
