Probably not if you're applying for an entry engineering role. The only important question is if you can build things just as well as the other applicants. You may be able to swing a more business focused role in which case a Masters might not matter

Consulting background, maybe a little bit.

Consulting network, yes.

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case.

What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.
