US education system is different from UK. It’s not possible to do apple to apple comparison. Completing MS in 1 year is possible, but it will be very hectic. Trying to get and maintain 4.0 GPA will be very tough.

Work Experience and Internship

Having work experience will definitely help, but not required. If you are thinking to postpone Masters Program just for the sake of getting work experience, its not necessary. But, if you are already working and plan to study in US after 1 or 2 years, then there is nothing you can do now. Use that experience to get a job after Masters degree. Students can always work as an intern for 1 or 2 semesters to get the work experience.

Majority of the students get hired as Full time employee after completing Internship. But, it takes lot of effort to find internship. You must start building your professional network as soon as you start your course work..
