If you are leaving your 9-5 to become an independent contractor then you actually are starting your own company. From my experience, I would never say that becoming an independent contractor would give me more time and freedom unless I was able to live on working a part time schedule. It sounds to me like you don't really want to be an independent contractor, it's just a means to an end. Don't do it. Stuck with your day job and work on your other company on the side.
