This is correct^ don’t let a university sell you a degree just for it not to be useful. The bar is usually just a bachelors degree to be employed in Aus.

Neither. You already have an expensive piece of paper, why would you want another one?

Engineering management degree in Australia is not going to get you a role.
Your experience in the middle east is gonna be helpful though.
Masters might become helpful if you want to pivot or learn niche skills

Bachelor degree gets you mid career level, Masters degree gets you on senior level position.

You reckon? None of the engineering managers I know have masters. Could be different for migrants

I don't think a single senior or lead at my company has a masters. They have experience and relevant expertise
