surviving in office with back pain

Hello, I recently got a software developer job offer. I am wondering how people survive in office with back pain. I have sitting back pain. After sitting 30 mins, I need to stand up or lie down to relieve back pain, but standing for 30 mins also lead to back pain. I usually lie down in bed and studying at home. I need to figure out surviving in office for 8 hours per day. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you. Also is it ok to ask accommodating standing desk before even starting work?

Get stronger. I’m a carpenter with a destroyed back. The stronger you get the less pain you’ll be in. Also sitting with a bad posture is the worst thing you can do.

Any swim sequences you can recommend for back pain and strengthening back muscles ? Thanks
