How bad will it look on my resume if I quit my job after only being here about 6 months? I was at my previous job for less than a year, so I'm worried it will look like a pattern if I quit this job so soon.

Better to find the next job before you quit. If you’ve already left, it depends on what you want to do next and how the 6 month job supports that skill set vs. the previous role.

I don't think it impacts much now. It's so common for people to job hop for better income now. My wife's resume looked the same when she just grabbed her latest job and its pay was almost 50 percent higher than the last position

I don’t think it matters, but I’d be prepared to have an explanation for it. Not a good culture fit, poor work-life balance, got bait-and-switched with your role, etc.
