Quitting in 6 months?

Currently in my 6months at a top EB/BB (did 1 year of different banking job before). Is this a career suicide move if I try to recruit for a long/short equity role right now? I am just worried that my bosses will hate me if I try to move to a new job now given that it has only been 6 months in my current job. 

I just want to know if my bosses will give very bad reference even if I somehow land a new job in the hedge fund space since I am trying to quit so early. I don't care about year-end bonuses or whatnot. I just want to do what I like which I think is investing.
