How much important is university prestige ?

And what do you think about getting a second master degree in a related field (not in the the same ) just for the university prestige ? Writing a top tier in your CV could boost your chance to have a better career ?

Agreed. Of course a lot of people will tell you it's not important, for obvious reasons...

Would depend on the field and what the second master's is in/how it differs from the second. If it's more specialised, it makes some sense. If you're doing the same degree again but at a better uni, a lot of places won't even take you and probably is a waste of time.

Not the same degree but a related field

Second masters shortly after a similar first masters is IMO likely to make you look like a 'stamp collector' or a job dodger to prospective employers... you'd better have a sensible explanation ready for interviews.

might be viewed differently in different cultures, but I think UK employers are going to see that on your CV and wonder what you're doing with your life.
