Yes, you got to do something you enjoy and you look forward to

Could it just be early days? Maybe you need some time to get in to a groove?

Can you quietly apply for another job?

Is there another position open in the same company where you work now? Perhaps you can change departments?

I had the same thing
Ended up leaving after 6 months
Sometimes I regret it because I can use the money now, although not desperate. But it’s been harder finding a new job that I like
Maybe I can take over for you lol

I know it's tempting, but it's worth it to stick it out for at least 2-3 months while you get the hang of the job and figure out if it's really not for you.

Are the things you hate essential parts of the job?

Like, if it's your first data entry job, and you've discovered that you find data entry hideously boring, then I think you should let yourself quit. Better to leave while it can still be relatively friendly on both sides (obviously the boss won't love that you just started and are already leaving, but 'I really appreciate you giving me this opportunity, but I've come to realize that this doesn't play to my skills at all. I'm happy to stay a month so you can find a replacement' is better than rage-quitting after the job drives you insane).

OTOH if the issue is that you feel like you don't know what you're doing, or it's too hard, or everything is moving too fast, or you feel like an outsider, then I'd give it time.

I have been in your shoes. Absolutely hated the job. Could not see myself in the position long term and dreaded going in every day.
I quit after a couple months.

If you know you hate your job quit now. I am at my job for 10 years. My previous job 1 year. two jobs before that 10 year. The job just after that one I was at for 5 days !!! lol. I am a super responsible person, don't switch jobs easily but that 5 day job I knew day 1 that it was not for me. I still kick myself that I stayed those 4 days lol.

Don't waste time. Quit now!

I quit a job after giving it 6 months. I had the flexibility to quit because we weren’t gaining that much income from my job. However, I really worry about eventually finding a new position. How do explain leaving a job after a short while to potential employers?

I would not quit a job before a year. It looks terrible to have something like that on your resume. The only exception is if the job itself is absolutely intolerable ie abusive boss.
