Start looking for another job ASAP. Raise your salary expectations to at least 10% over what you make now. Name a figure at least 15% higher early in negotiations, if you get cornered in to picking a number first. Consider going higher than these minimums. 20%. Maybe 25%. Don't drop your starting bid until you've failed to land at least two jobs due solely to salary expectation mismatches.
You may be surprised at how accepting people are of a slightly-nicer-worded version of "why do I want to leave so soon? The job is shit, that's why", especially if you can frame it as "it's not advancing my career as I expected blah blah blah". And really, six months isn't that bad. I know lots of very successful people with multiple entries like that in their work history.
Since you can't really use anyone where you are now as a reference anyway (not for this particular job search, at least), if you haven't already been explicitly told you have to work 10-12 hours, consider cutting back to 8 hours/day cold-turkey and using the time you save to recover and to look for a job, at least until someone complains.
(I'm assuming you're in tech and don't live in the middle of no-where. Hell, I do live in the middle of no-where by many people's standards, and anyone with even a hint of talent gets snapped up here fast. Job openings as far as the eye can see. It won't last forever—move while you can. It's musical chairs.)
