Oops, I forgot to mention i haven't reach 30s, yeah, i agreed with you when you have high commitment, you need high stability job.
As of now, i just need to learn as much as possible no matter contract job and permanent job.  biggrin.gif

Also, some of the C-Suite positions are in contract basis, so you will let go the offer when you are 40s yo with family commitments? Correct me if i am wrong.

Then again coming back with the age issue. STOP seeing this as burden to change your career movement.

Its up to the person whether they can cover their commitment or not.

I have alot of colleagues who are in age range between 40s and 50s, and working as a contract position. They are all doing fine and can support their family and commitments.

I have talked them why prefer taking contract post. One thing they mentions is the pay is high, and can expose much on career development, compare to as permanent position.

I have also seen they can transition from contract to permanent position easily, as employer only regards experiences and skill as their upmost priority.

The contract-permanent debate can go on, but as a married person I can understand the uncertainty in my wife whenever I consider taking up a contract job.

When you have family and commitment, you can't be as self righteous as you were before. Taking into account your family's feeling is more important than down-right career development.

Of course everyone's situation is different, if your situation allows you taking up contract and if that's what you really wanted, then great for you. For mine at least I'm in a company with stable growth for the past decades, permanent role with a salary I'm satisfied with, challenging enough job to take me out of my comfort zone but at the same time I could plan for my next step in life like buying my next house and my next family vacation.

I am not arguing on your career decision or self righteous. The argument I am pointing is AGE is not a decisive decision for someone to decline to jump to contract role from stable permanent position.

I doubt it's because of my masters... I think the opportunity just comes at the right time? And networking really helps me to identify really good opportunities (networking okay, bukan cable. lol)

I forgot to mention that it is a remote job as well... which means I won't have a physical office and will be working from home most of the time + perhaps a bit of traveling to meet clients. Sounds nice on paper, but I'm sure it will get boring after a while haha

1 year full-time experience. I have 3 years of research, fellowship programme and consultancy prior, but I did not count it towards "employment experience". However the organization I applied for took that into account so that's a plus for me. Right opportunity comes at the right time I guess.

Also managerial level at non-profit organizations can be different from that in other sectors. I somehow managed to leverage that opportunity and jump elsewhere

I must say that luck plays a huge part too! I kinda pushed the upper range to the max, and wanted to negotiate from there, but they accepted it without asking many questions lol

It’s not a local startup. It is one based in the US. They have been around since 2014 and their product is very niche

Well even big companies like Grab still calls themselves start-up so... it's just that they earned their unicorn, decacorn, whatevercorn status along the way. Based on what I was told the term startup describes how the company comes together and how they got their funding, regardless their size but I could be wrong.
