None 😅 You should consider investing more in something you’ll sit in all day.
Very good point

I've had this chair from Amazon for about a year, and it's still going really strong. I feel like everyone thinks you need to have the Bugatti of chairs but that's just not me. I'm 24 and I've never worked in a real office so I don't have brand loyalty to high-end chairs, but this chair is comfortable, does what I need it to do, doesn't squeak, and I literally have no complaints. $90:

This is a great chair for the price, imo either you get the best cheap chair (this) or you go all out (Herman Miller) not worth it to go in between.
If you’re willing to do the work and have/can borrow a car you can find good used Herman Miller Aerons at wholesalers/fb marketplace for about $200
Did this myself. It took about a month to find one but so worth it IMO.
Bought union and scale flex fit for $199. Has great lumbar support so loving it!
This is a very hot take but I love this chair from ikea. It honestly has great back support. I bought it four years ago in the As Is section and it is one of my favorite ikea finds https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/langfjaell-conference-chair-gunnared-beige-white-s89252297/
I have a $30 chair from Amazon 😅
You can also ask your office for old chairs they might have. Usually those are still in great condition and are costly, but you can get it for free!

Buy a Herman Miller Embody. Best chair ever. It's worth it
Steelcase is also amazing, my chair is one of my favorite purchases to date - worth every dollar. Also helps to have a company benefit that’ll reimburse you for 75% of it though 🙃
I have this gaming chair that I use at my desk. $110 (without tax). Pretty solid, I’ve had it for a few months. I would recommend it

I just purchased lumbar support and seat cushions to make an affordable/budget office chair more ergo friendly - not pretty, but supportive!
Following.
Find a local used office furniture supplier. I got two steelcase chairs for around 150-200 each. Amazing condition
Use your Encore awards to buy something nice!! I just got the Branch Ergonomic chair at the beginning of summer :) love it so far compared to my well used college desk chair

I got the lazy boy I think it’s called from Staples. Quite lit
Do yourself a favor and get a steelcase or Herman miller
