How to Negotiate a Higher Salary Without Quitting?
I’m happy with my job and boss, but I'm currently underpaid. I just received a job offer from a competitor that’s 30% higher. How can I use this to negotiate a better salary without quitting or damaging my relationship with my manager?

I got a job offer with a 40% pay raise. I was hesitant to leave my current company but was tempted by the offer. I told my manager about the offer and my concerns.
My manager spoke to management, who agreed to give me a 45% raise over three steps. The company also offered me an onsite opportunity, which I was interested in.
Unfortunately, the onsite opportunity didn't work out. However, the company still gave me a 20% raise.
The CEO met with me and offered to match the original offer in the next appraisal.
I decided to stay with the company and have received raises since then.
Moral: Don't be afraid to ask for what you want

I have been on both ends of this, as an employee, and as a manager. From both perspectives, I urge you, go tell your boss exactly what you want

If you really like the work and manager then I think is an understanding one. They must know your value in the team and are treating you well. Hikes are limited to company policies so over long run it tends to fall below market standard in same company. If you have a better offer then before resigning you should talk to your manager and explain your expectation with details like how much you like working here. Manager can go to Senior management and HR to find suitable counter offer possibility and device a retention plan.

At the risk of telling you something you don't want to hear, often in a career the only way to get a pay increase is to jump jobs. If you are starting out, then this may be the perfect opportunity for you to move out of your comfort zone and start moving your career along.
