If you’re already working in design& have a BFA, then I don’t think so. You’ll probably have better chances by working on a “project” and posting updates on it through social media. This shows your ambitious, your personal interests, and builds credibility that you know what you’re doing.
Plus, you never know who your connections may know, so this’ll put your work in front of more eyes to be considered for future jobs.
Good luck!

The benefit is what you learn from the coursework, how you apply what you learn is what will move your career along. If you’re thinking just having it on your resume will open doors, it probably won’t, especially in design/creative.

This is a super open ended and unanswerable question. What field are you in? Do you work in advertising? What part of the company do you work for? These things matter.
Generally have a post grad degree means you’ll have connections and can make more money, but does not guarantee long term success. Long term success is gained through soft skills like leadership, trust, respect, and to be honest, whether people find you to be relatively attractive (appearance, voice, and presence). Your actual skills and degrees mean shit if you can’t master the art of presence.

Grad school should either be a way for you to get ahead in your specific field, or a way to make a lateral move but skip the entry level grunt work (say if you wanted to switch over to account management instead of design).
