Before you do this you really need to decide if you want to stay. If your boss is just unable to offer you a raise until they show their boss that you will leave
If you don’t get one then maybe it’s worth staying. But Id assume before you find a new job that you have had the wage discussion more than once. If they haven’t reacted by then why do you want to give them the opportunity to match.
I have only left a job for opportunity and a change of roles. Money is part of it but In general if money is the issue the you work for a ####ty company, the new company is grossly over valuing you, or it can be easily worked out without a threat.
