I am a developer at iPhone Developer Program assigned to the project for the company. I would like to buy my own licence to develop as an independent programmer. How to do it? Do I need another Apple ID?

The Apple Developer Enterprise Program and the iOS Developer University Program each require a unique Apple ID than that used for any other membership. You'll need to set up a new Apple ID and enroll separately.
If you're enrolled in the Apple Developer Program: Sign in to your developer account and click the Membership tab. Scroll down to Settings and click Transfer Your Account Holder Role. In the dialog that appears, select a name from the “Transfer to” pull-down menu, then click Continue.
You need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. You can use your existing Apple ID or create a new one depending on your needs. You can join the Apple Developer Program as an individual or as an organization. Make sure to use the app publisher's developer account.
As a member of the iPhone Developer Program you are assigned 100 device "slots," allowing you to add up to 100 devices in the iPhone Program Portal in a membership year. Adding a device registers it to be used for developing and testing apps, or for sharing your app with other users via Ad Hoc Distribution.
No, you can be a member of multiple development teams with a single Apple ID. The developer website will ask you which team you'd like to work on when you sign in.

I highly recommend not using the same Apple ID for multiple developer programs.
You can do it, but anytime it prompts you to log in, it also prompts you to "Select Your Team". As a separate step. Both on the web and in XCode.
It slows me down and I haven't found any way to make it always choose one as the default rather than asking every time.
[Update: My original answer is well over a year old, and I had been living with the annoyances for a while before posting. I just had our administrator send me a new invitation to my corporate email address so I wouldn't have the conflict. It took me almost no time at all to get my profiles set up again and it's so much nicer to not have to "choose your program" all the time.
So if you set things up this way and you've just been living with it, don't. Save yourself the annoyance and time and just get re-added to the program with a different email address.]
