Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
AMA.

HM Aeron
Aeron if you really want to splurge. Steelcase Leap is great too, currently sitting in it and have not had any back pain since switching to it. Depending on your firm, they may have a discount too (for Deloitters, you can register on steelcase through perks @ work for company discounts)
Love my HM Aeron see if your company has a discount code. They were also doing a spring sale not sure if it’s over
I enjoy my steelcase leap. Wanted to get a HM chair but got a great deal

If you're looking for the most expensive, go for the Herman Miller Embody.
However, if you're looking for comfort at an affordable price look no further than this

Steelcase
Leeeeap v2
Office Furniture Center (bases in Chicago). Bought my Steelcase Leap V2 used here. About 50% cheaper compare to new and have to pay for shipping but worth every penny.
Depending on your company, you may be able to get a discount on HM or steelcase. We get a pretty good discount at KPMG, for example
Herman Miller Aeron. I've had back issues for years, but they all disappeared after getting it.
If you're in a big city and/or patient then you can find them on eBay/FB marketplace for 450~600. Though you may be hesitant to get used, these things LAST.
