Default relatively high paying monotonous job

Hi,

I would like to get some career advice from the folks on this forum.

About myself: Graduated in 2010 with a technical degree. I have about 3 years of work experience now.

Working for a US MNC. Basic Salary is 6900. Annual bonus is 2 months.

On paper, my relatively high salary looks good for my age and experience. However, I find my job quite boring. I have been at my current position for 1 year+. Essentially, I am an overpaid computer operator. My primary job is to decide between clicking between button "A", "B", "C", for about 200 times a day. I'm not learning anything new.

Work-life balance is good and I generally end work before 6pm.

What do u think I should do? Here are some of my thoughts:
1) Look for a new job. If i look for a new job outside, I doubt I will find a job that matches/beats my current salary. I think I will be looking at a 2k salary cut.
2) The company is big so I can perhaps try to do an internal transfer.
3) I can use my free time to pick up new skills or maybe do a part-time masters/MBA.
4) Continue doing what I do and enjoy my work-life balance.


Regards,
Questions
