There is no Specialist Eighth Class in the US Army or Marines. Most specialist ranks were phased out in the 1980's. Specialist Fourth Class (Spec 4), paygrade E-4 is still awarded in the US Army for some MOS's.

The E-8 Specialist rank is not equivalent to a Sergeant rank. In the Army, the E-8 Specialist is a higher enlisted rank compared to the E-5 Sergeant rank. The E-8 Specialist is a non-commissioned officer with greater leadership responsibilities and experience.

A First Sergeant or a Master Sergeant. Which rank they actually are depends on their job. The rank insignias are different.

Which rank is higher than a Staff Sergeant?

In the US Army, the next rank above Staff Sergeant would be Sergeant First Class, followed by Master Sergeant and First Sergeant (both grade E8), then by Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major (both grade E9). Sergeant Major of the Army is the seniormost noncommissioned officer rank in the US Army. In the US Marine Corps, the next rank above Staff Sergeant (E6) would be Gunnery Sergeant (E7), followed by Master Sergeant and First Sergeant (E8), Master Gunnery Sergeant and Sergeant Major (E9), then Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Unlike other military branches of the US Armed Forces, where Staff Sergeant is pay grade E6, Staff Sergeant in the Air Force is pay grade E5 - equivalent to a Sergeant in the Army or Marine Corps. It is followed by Technical Sergeant (E6), Master Sergeant (E7), Senior Master Sergeant (E8), Chief Master Sergeant and Command Chief Master Sergeant (E9), and, finally, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, who - like the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps - is the most senior noncommissioned officer in the entire branch. The British, Commonwealth, and some European forces end their enlisted ranks at Staff Sergeant (or equivalent), and rate enlisted personnel senior to Staff/Colour Sergeants as Warrant Officers.
