Didn't finish a 2nd masters (现人家鸡蛋里挑骨头)

After graduting from a top MBA program, I joined a hi tech company and enrolled in a MSEE program part-time for professioal development. I took all the core courses but later relocated for work before getting the degree - a 2nd masters to me.

I think such extraordinary effort demonstrates self motivation, ability to learn and work ethic, especially compared with most of my peers who have just a BS/BA or a MS.

However, many times during interviews people asked "did you finish the degree?" I hate it!

I put "MS canadate" on my cv. When asked, I said "purpose was not to get a 2nd masters degree, but to learn what I wanted for my work and career development". Is there anything you would do differently?
