 I would say its a waste of time. I've interviewed plenty over the years and never seen any candidate with a masters. If you want to do something, I would advise you to specialise in something over doing something as generic as computer science.

 I am considering distance education, where they will provide assignments online. However, I believe the main examinations will be conducted offline, twice a year, for a duration of two years. 🤔

But what you just said that is actually the main thing I am doing right now, specialising in cloud computing and machine learning, with certifications. I will keep going you. But I also don't want to burnout myself 😅🤣

 Be sure to build yourself a code portfolio along the way. That will likely have more value to an interviewer, especially if they are technical, than the piece of paper will. Good luck!
