Hi there,
Technically it's not a must but consider your competition for entry level roles - in Europe it's fairly common for students nowadays to do undegrad + postgrad degrees back to back. There's very few people with undegrad “only” (don't want to diminish this in any way - you get the point), which is different from other regions like US or Australia, where a postgrad is more optional or comes later after a few years of working.
Hence, you can get in but your competition will likely have an edge over you for the same position.
Hope this helps a bit. Best of luck!

A master's degree will actually most likely land you a consultant role not an entry-level role!
