As someone else said, if you back yourself to get something else later then it could be the right move.
Only thing I'd be concerned about is the idea that they snuck the contract thing in - it would depend exactly what you mean by that, but if they were trying to conceal it from you then that might be a bad sign. If it was just a miscommunication or whatever, then hopefully all good.
Good luck, whatever you do!
PS - forgot to say that I quit a permanent job to go freelance and it's been a big improvement in my life. I work from home, make a bit more money, and can be much more flexible. Downside is less income security, and as a result less favourable terms on things like mortgages. Also, I have been lucky that I basically get regular work from a small agency and have done for a number of years, so I rarely need to go hustling for clients.
Not at all surprising move from a FAANG company. Fucking people over is in their blood.
