Is graduate school necessary?

I don’t think your question makes any sense. “It depends” is a good answer for you. My daughter is studying CS Theory and you have to have advanced degree for that. That is a research oriented degree and you are expected to be a researcher, which is not particularly expected for those with an undergrad degree.

A MS in any field in CS is valuable, if you want to speak generally. People succeed well with BS as well as MS in this area, but a MS should hopefully get you out of a grind job.

edit to say: sorry just noted you said EECS, but same opinion.
