For those who have a boring job: How do you spend your time at the office when you have nothing to do? I've tried taking additional courses, getting ahead, getting multiple coffees, but I still have many hours where I'm just sitting there waiting for the work day to end. I feel like I might not be creative enough so wanted to see what everyone else does!

I am not sure about what to advise you on this. Except that I see they are not giving you "enough" work to keep you happily humming along. The day goes by faster when you are busy that is for sure. Perhaps you should ask your superior that you are ready for some more responsibility? Are you willing to do that for no extra pay? Is everyone else around you busy enough? I WISH I had a boring job, so that I could take a course in something new -

Another thought... this is not good, but... are they under loading you on purpose that you get fed up and leave on your own?

I don't think they're underloading me. It's just a very slow company

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
