Well, as someone working in HR...I would say it all depends on the company. but then again do remember that a lot of companies are going thru cost saving/"corporate development" nowadays, especially big MNC's...
So in light of that...I would say that masters would give you an advantage if you willing to take the same salary as a degree holder....if you ask for more, most likely they would take the degree holder as no point to pay you more just for the masters. So it all depends on what you expect from the masters, you expecting for more pay or just want the advantage of getting hired?

QUOTE(mooz @ Nov 6 2014, 03:30 PM) Exactly. Some company wont hire you since they're cost saving and you dont have the experience. Which industry are you in? Is it beneficial for you? I'm not really interested in business, but MBA is still in my list of options. I'm in engineering though. Some say MBA might still be useful to get to the managerial post. I was thinking to get masters so I get better chance in a big company, e.g shell, petronas. But if I take masters, it would cost me quite a bit so it's like gamble also lah. Of course I want the extra advantage, but scared might be overqualified also. Taking masters would cost me quite a bit so of course if possible want pay more to cover back the cost. If you expect more pay when they hire you, then honestly nowadays very few company will do that...mostly only govt sector or GLC has such policy to pay more for your masters...but most mnc nowadays all got the mentality to hire the cheapest capable candidate for a job...thus if its a job that both a degree holder and masters holder can do and the degree fella is asking for less, they most likely will take the degree holder... |
