We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I am not sure of what / how you will be able to 'sell' your short law firm experience (at 6 months).
If you are looking at entering as Fresher- then that's a different matter.
I feel if it’s too torturous for you, then don’t wait to simply get burnt out. If you don’t have financial obligations on you, leave the job and find better opportunities, you will def get something or if you can start looking before actually leaving it
PS - I don't know what is 'crazy work load' in your books but whatever it is, it only gets worse. It also gets better. These are just phases. If they aren't, you are free to quit but at least get more exposure.
