    You tell your boss you got an offer.

    Mention the salary, but more importantly the growth opportunity. If you are a high performer they'll match.

    You have to prepared to take the offer and leave if you use this kind of leverage. It is not risk free. Also you put your manager on notice, so they will be looking to replace you next possible chance.

      Only if you have a terrible manager. I believe there is nothing wrong with seeking out a position to understand your value. Managers should respect that as they will likely do the same at some point.
