I just started a role last month but a role I’m more interested popped up at a company I was interviewing at in March. I don’t want to seem like a job hopper because I truly am not one. This role more clearly aligns with my personal and career goals. Is it a bad look to reach out if the other one may have disappeared because of COVID? Is the risk worth the reward?

I say go for it. If you look like a job hopper to the company where you have this other opportunity, let them be the ones to pass that judgment.

If you get this other job, you can just leave your current role off your résumé to keep you from looking like a job hopper in the future.
