Definition
跳槽 (tiào cáo) is a fixed verb meaning 'to change jobs' — it always refers to leaving one job for another (like a horse jumping to a new trough). Despite sharing the character 跳, it is not related to the physical action of jumping, which is expressed by the HSK 7 verb 跳跃 (tiào yuè, 'to jump/leap').
