I know it's difficult to work when you are not even happy or satisfied with what you are doing. Personally, I feel that you must wait for 6 more months that experience will add value to your resume and I guess nothing is more important than this.

If you are still learning new skills that will help you in a BA career, then consider staying longer to perfect those skills that you can then leverage to get a job elsewhere. If you are stuck doing the same thing every day and not learning anything new, then it's probably time to move on.

Re: Is 6 months as a Business Analyst enough to find a new role? 

Once you’ve built up your confidence in your career choice and your business analysis skills, it’s time to get some real, tangible feedback. This could mean sharing your career goals with your manager and asking for more opportunities to practice BA techniques. It might also mean circulating your resume to a few recruiters or applying to a few business analyst jobs.

The point of this exercise is not necessarily to find the opportunity (though if that happens for you right off the bat, that’s a lucky bonus), but to get feedback about how your career goals are perceived by those that work with you or are in a position to hire you.
You may be surprised to learn that a specific skill is extremely marketable and can provide an entryway into a business analyst role. Or you might be given some ideas for strengthening your positioning even further. Which leads us to the next step.
