Left consulting mid-career to start afresh in a new role. It’s been half a year and not enjoying the nature of the work. Is it too soon to call it quits or am I falling prey to the sunk cost fallacy?

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
