Completed my BS in Comp Sci last year.
Did a mix of part time and full time work during my degree on a mix of AI, blockchain and microservices; so I have about ~4 YoE.
Insurance fintech made an offer for 80K GBP base + benefits + pay for my MSc.
The role is Senior Golang Backend Engineer (working on a mix of microservices, infrastructure and operations with kafka etc...)
Is this reasonable?

Here’s a real lesson for you. Your value is determined by supply and demand. You are supplying the *potential* to become a good engineer. You need to find a company that demands good engineers. The type of company that *needs* good engineers to be competitive in the market. Otherwise you will become as mediocre as the people you’re comparing yourself to.
No one depends on you at scale
This is true for several years after grad too.
So, your title only serves two things: Your ego and your CV. When I look at a CV, I look for experience description and YoE, because I’m a living case of how it is absolutely meaningless.
