They are trying to avoid the pay rise. Your options are to stay for the time being and try to budget, or bite the bullet and look elsewhere for better pay. It’s a shit choice when you don’t have the time and energy to go job hunting but realistically it seems unlikely your employer will meet your pay request. (Good luck anyway though, hopefully am wrong)
Yeah, you’re almost certainly right. In any case, given graduation is just a few months out, I can’t decide whether to hunt for something in my degree area. Problem I face is prospective employers will be able to tell I’m graduating soon, and I’m rather afraid they’d pass me over in favour of a cheaper and longer-lasting international student.
