I’m a product designer and curious to know if having a Facebook “contract” position will somewhat deter your marketability? Will that lower my chance to apply for a full time position?

You want to be wanted by companies who realize there are many reasons someone might be a contractor.
I’ve hired and managed quite a few contractors into FTE roles throughout my career—the only thing I always ask is “why contract vs FTE?” The reason is that some people prefer to contract, and some were told they’d convert and didn’t. It tells you about their career goals, not their competency.
