<p>An MS CS isn’t necessary if you have a BS CS but there is a work experience equivalence for a MS CS. Academics doesn’t replace real work experience, however, in my industry (defense) you can easily do a MS CS part-time while working full time. Since an MS CS is equivalent to 2 years of work experience, you can basically work full time for 4 years and complete an MS CS degree as well. Your pay would faster than your peers because you would have acquired about 6 years of work experience in a span of 4 years.</p>
