Marching towards a long career at Amazon

I have been with Amazon for a while. I would be getting a yellow badge if I hang around for another year or so. Doing reasonably ok, but there is always this part of me that yearns for the higher TC at Google/Facebook.
For many reasons (timing, immigration) etc, I never did make the move. It feels like it will get harder to pull the trigger as my career grows (due to the down leveling that usually accompanies the move).
The other yellow/red badges I see around are either L7s or have a path to L7 and beyond. I am not sure if I will ever get there however. Is it folly to try and stick around? Amazon is ok, but it's as everyone knows hardly Nirvana.
Any advice from other blinders who have been in a similar situation?
TC: 260k, 5yoe
