Midwestmom2022:

Question about masters degrees… what is driving the demand for masters degrees? Is a masters degree considered a baseline requirement in the tech industry?

No.

However, many people in the industry initially came to the US as graduate students, so they may have MA/MS or PhD degrees. Most in technical computing jobs with only BA/BS degrees were US citizens or permanent residents when they were in school.

Of course, some more research focused jobs could prefer graduate degrees.
