Masters in Engineering Worth it for CS?

I am currently a junior in CS. I have no prior internships, but have landed a couple interviews this semester. I am being offered to complete my masters in just one year after graduating my undergrad (4 plus 1 accelerated) money is not a factor. Would I be better getting my masters, or should I stay away?
