I've been wondering when it's better to do it immediately after university and when it's better to do it after working.
Has anyone or their DC simply done a master's because they couldn't secure a job after UG. Did the master's help?

A master's degree

Agree it depends on the undergrad degree. I graduated in a big industry downturn and lots of my cohort did a masters (back in the day before fees and NERC/SERC grants were available). I did get a job and worked for 2 years before doing a masters, but by then I was in an industry that needed it to progress.

Out of interest what industry required the masters and what was it ?
