I’d pick masters only if you’re craving college experience. Don’t expect to learn anything drastically different in Masters.
My 2 cents.
Experience is far better than Masters. You can educate yourself where ever you are though..
For MS, it takes 60k for the whole program + loss in yearly income.(you can take the summer semester and complete the MS in an year for 30 credit course) after that you can directly join SDE2 instead of SDE1 or starting over as other people are saying. I have many example to show that. Even you can get senior depending on how much you have the right attitude. Also, an extra masters degree helps a lot if you want to be more ambitious with startups and research. I would suggest not thinking short term. You know that most people supposed to stop developing after L5 right. So getting there 1-2 yrs late is fine as compared to one time Masters.
BTW, I am also 4.5 yoe working at some other company and getting double of what you are getting. I am going for the MS.
Only difference between you and me is that you are working at Google which has better internal mobility. Have you seen the intake of sde at google india this year? they almost tripled in numbers. More people, More choices for HM, More competition. Good luck with whatever you choose.
