I've played both sides for many years - each. The W2 situation is good, reliable, a paycheck you can count on (usually), and company provided -insurance. Yes, insurance is good.
But many of those things don't exist in the real world anymore. You can't count on your W2 job to be there in the morning. You can't even count on your company to be there in the morning. And I'm certain you can't count on your insurance to be there in the morning.
Freelancing, or consulting, is freeing. The ability to market yourself, your skills and expertise, is empowering. Sure, it can be terrifying at times - especially at first. But the ability to choose what you want to work on and how you want to work with is definitely a nice change of pace.
