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

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.
