Generally okay if it makes sense (e.g. change of practice area, left with a supervising partner/ practice, went clerking, went in-house).
It will always look bad to some uptight people, but don’t worry about them.
If you can explain it, and there's a need, don't worry too much. But this market won't last forever, and if there's no need or you don't have a good reason, it can look bad.

Job hopping is totally fine, ideally you have stays of at least 2 to 3 years per role.
And, if possible, leave each position for a progressively better title each time (e.g. manager, senior manager, associate director...).
Depends how long you stayed each place and if there were clear upward progressions or same job at the same pay range in the same markets. Usually try not to start looking until 1.5-2 years if you can.
