By contrast, here’s an example of the Second-Level Thinking Principle in action. My friend’s client—call her Maria—is a mostly self-taught data scientist.fn3 She worked her way up through the startup world and became a reasonably successful executive at a tech company, where she spent five years. Her position recently disappeared overnight, when the company went under.

Her goals are to continue earning an executive’s salary (around $180k per year) while working from home and having a schedule that allows her to be present for her family. Ideally, she wants to work for a company committed to social responsibility. She has $100k in the bank, and wants to have a job within two years, but can wait as long as four. She currently has two job offers for less money than she wants, and neither job excites her very much. She’s considering going back to school for her master’s in the hopes that it’ll open up more employment options, but she knows she won’t be able to do schoolwork while holding a full-time position and still have time for her family.

Let’s now consider some possible solutions. Maria’s options include:

Going back to school for a master’s degree

Accepting one of the full-time positions she’s been offered at $90k per year

Doing some consulting work

Continuing to look for other full-time opportunities
