I couldn’t sleep at night. I’d fill up a bathtub and scream into it.
Eh, what? Do (normal) people do this? Is it because it absorbs the sounds or something?

The key thing to notice, though, is that the author screamed. I have screamed, and life is bloody awful at those points in life.
Maybe he needed to scream out loud to bring a bit of relief to his abused up moral.
He did quit, but it was probably because everyone else saw the ship sinking and was jumping off.
His $16k "sacrifice" at the end was not much if he claims he would have made enough to retire by 30s and just live off interest. So, yes, he had a bit some moral struggles, but it sounds like he managed to successfully "overcome" most of them via rationalizations.
The blog post was written just to make himself feel better and to somehow turn not taking a little bit of hush money into a great moral victory. Perhaps his future employee will read how honest and devoted to the truth he is...
Ever talk or scream in a pool? Muffled, distant sound, but is still there.
