Nope, not what I was saying at all. I was making a statement about personal risk tolerance. A contract is more risky than FTE because your risk of the company being done with you before you are done with the company is higher. If you are unemployed and need to get back to work then you'd usually take what you can get. If you are choosing between opportunities or leaving a FTE job then be aware of the risk, even if the company is Google.
