I'm not sure how much of it is Google and how much is just a broader collection of SV companies, but engineering salaries, including software, in general were much more conventional professional salaries until at least the dot-com era. I started with a computer company for about $40K in the mid-80s (with a grad degree) so a bit over $100K today with nothing special with respect to other benefits.

One thing that has definitely happened (at least where I am) is that other professional/office salaries seem to have stagnated somewhat and not kept pace with inflation, while tech salaries continued to climb upwards. Until recently, anyways.
