True... Contract role make it hard to have long term planning especially when have various family commitments. Perm full time is still the preferred option as is also within our own control if the company is stable. The job market is very competitive nowaday & not too easy to secure a job too... If you are currently employed... At least can still hold on to existing job & drop off the contract offer. For unemployed, guess just have to grab the contract offer first to tie through & continue with perm job search.
