You want to think about what the MSEE will get you in terms of the job market. Is it normally a credential for the kind of jobs you’re interested in? What is the bump in starting salary the MS provides? The various engineering professional societies’ websites will have information on this sort of thing.

It sounds like you’re interested in the management side so another factor will be whether the type of positions open to a new BSEE can lead to the management track and how long it will take. If, for example, a new MSEE will go directly into project management and a BSEE needs several years of experience before being eligible, then spending a year now on the MSEE is likely worth while.

Good luck!
