Lateral 6 months into the job?
Would it be looked down upon? I'm worried if it burns bridges with my current company & team, suppose my lateral efforts succeed.
Reason being my current team requires even analysts to chase deals, which is ridiculous. I don't feel like learning things.
Edit: bank is not a no-name boutique. The structure is just plain weird.

I'm assuming you're at a boutique if they're making you source deals as an analyst. Honestly sounds ridiculous. If you lateral it'll burn bridges but who cares. Especially if you go from a no name boutique to a MM or BB firm. What're they going to do?
Agree with above, if you're at a no-name boutique and forced to source you are in a great position to lateral, the market is dying for talent right now. Just have an answer for why you left so quickly - and be prepared that a BB will want you to come in as a first year analyst
Requiring Analysts to source deals? Sounds like a shitty boutique.
I'm about to make a lateral after 7 months from a far better situation than you (ie I don't have to chase deals and am at a large, established platform with a good brand). You owe your company nothing. If you feel you've gotten everything you can from your current employer and a better deal comes along, don't hesitate to take it. Bridges are overrated (especially bridges with ppl at shitty boutiques like the one you work at).
