Your submission appears put together without any care ("NH", "i", "wont", "cant", "circles", "Bad", "dont", and presumably that hyphen is a minus "-" rather than an en-dash "–" or an em-dash "—" (though it's not that important)).
Unless your achievements are stellar, you are not in a position to neglect these details.
Next, don't bring your grievances with you. Your next employer bears no responsibility for whatever happened to you in the past. Why should they want to deal with someone that is grumpy and entitled?
Focus on your achievements and what you can bring to the job.
Next, continue your search and do find an external offer, then evaluate your options. I would not suggest a confrontational approach with your current employer, threatening to leave. Rather, talk to them and say, sincerely, that you'd like to stay with them, but you cannot afford to forego all of the raise that the other company is offering you. (If you can't say that sincerely, because you do want to leave, then: leave.)
Typically, companies like to retain their talent, as it is expensive and risky to hire and train someone new. That is good for you, but it is always easier to negotiate if you do have an alternative at hand, rather than having to bluff.

You snob, this is internet, how dare You point out that single dash sign is apparently not enough to convey all this context dependent meaning. Go back to Your fancy books.

Sorry, I could not resist - each time I am remainded that clear communication is not enough and „proper” form is also required because of historical reasons I die a little bit inside. Why we (the people) like to complicate our life so much?
Germans somehow could get rid of ß so maybe not all is lost (but Danish people on the other hand brought back Å so maybe it is ;) )
I looked a bit at your comment history on HN, I get there’s an aspect of “Anonymous on the Internet”, but if your approach here [1] is remotely like your approach in the workplace and I got any signal of that in an interview context you’d be “Strong No Hire” for me.
“Too” aggressive. While normally not a big deal if there’s a typo, someone else commented and this in attention to detail can put people off as they may think it extends to
other areas.
It’s mostly relevant because your comment is about your writing.
