They aren’t software

Are you a software engineer with 3 yoe? What does "pharmacy operations" mean? Because if SWE then 200k...

Not software. Chemical engineer

Sounds like you better learn Python. (Seriously it seems like almost every electrical engineer I have met does software)

Ask a range first.. and then make an offer based on that.

Is 90k your base or TC at Merck? I have 3yoe as well, with a ms. I’m making more prob bc I work shifts. I always thought I got lowballed. May consider jump ship next year
