Job hopping concerns!!

I have job hopped and i am in my 4th stint in just over 4 yrs. Out of the 3 hops: 1 was due to covid 1 was due to layoff 1 was because I wanted to switch to a product based company.

I am looking to make 1 switch coz my current workplace (a startup) is very shaky and I have been in it for 7 months only. I want to join a stable org / big stable startup where I can spend a good part of my career.

Do you guys think it is a right move? Will it look bad on my CV and impact transition into leadership roles?

I am from tier 1 undergrad and tier 1 MBA college. I have total 6 yrs of experience (2 before MBA, 4 post MBA).

Your next move will be most important. Wahan chipak gaye toh ghanta anyone will care. So get Outta here and be honest about the moves. Ek to layoff hai so that's not a switch. So choose the next move wisely.
