isn't staff engineer a manager?

  A staff engineer could just be someone who's one level above senior. Someone like that in Mountain View probably makes around $200K/year.

  No, you can be staff and not have direct reports if you just want to code. Some staff engineers do manage but it isn't a requirement. There's a separate job title track for non-coding pure managers.
