Lateraling a month in…

Recently joined a boutique after being laid off. I've always thought of this as a bridge back to a proper IB shop. As I'm recruiting, how should I position this? Should I even mention it when having intro calls or keep to myself?

I know job hopping is frown upon but NYC rent isn't paying itself and who knows when the job market will open up again. Any advice is greatly appreciated…really don't want to be stuck here but also want to be as upfront as it helps me.
