I also left roughly the same time as you, so I agree with what they were, but the range is truly wild now. You'll still find $80k positions but the ceiling is now easily 3-4x as much.
It's not the SV of the north yet -- local VCs are still a joke (expect one to two orders of magnitude worse terms) but it's getting better. The angel scene has actually been pretty incredible over the past few years.
