Why are Amazon recruiters always pinging me for interviews?

Already rejected them 2 years ago for not being able to complete with Fb. Their offer was for SDE2 while Fb offer was for E5 with a TC difference of 200K.
Since then I have been promoted to E6, with TC (W2) getting closer to 700K.
Can Amazon even beat that TC? They are asking me to take a online test first; am I still being considered for SDE2?
PS. This post stems from genuine curiosity with a desire for humble brag.

If you are in software at a faang, you will have recruiters reaching out to you. It is the way of the world.
As the largest employer in FAANG, you will logically see more recruiters from amazon than the others.
Why is this always asked
Ps: they recently majorly updated comp bands for new hires. I think they are competitive now but not sure about future stock growth tbh
At initial stage, they won’t check your past records, either because they don’t know it exists or haven’t read complete history. In either case, if you initiate the conversation, it will come up within 1-2 phone conversation.
