Couple of factors (1) how many years professional, “real world” experience (2) quality of masters program (3) what type of software engineering do want to do - (business systems, mobile, web etc)

FYI I was a systems engineer in aerospace, and I made the transition into tech via doing System Safety engineering for self-driving cars. My comp is triple what it was in aero, not even including equity. I had 3 yeo as an aero engineer before making the move and now have another 2 working in self driving. Only you know what is right for you but I would look into systems engineering positions at the major self-driving companies, I miss aerospace sometimes but I really enjoy working on these systems!
