How will investment banks view pre-MBA job hopping

Hey guys!

Long time lurker, had a quick question. Currently an accountant at a big 4, but i have job hopped a bit - 3 jobs in three years. But each move was for a valid reason. By that I mean things that did not have to do with my performance, or seeking a better opportunity. These moves were mainly motivated by location changes due to COVID. 

I am getting an MBA from a top 5 next fall, just wondering if Ibanks will hold my prior job hopping against me even though it wasn't in the financial sector? Would appreciate ya'lls input. Thanks!
