Should I stay for 3 or 6 months?

I’m a recent graduate who’s been working for my company for almost 2 months. I work minimum wage 45+hours a week (I get off work at 7pm) and I feel undervalued. There were enough red flags to make me immediately decide to leave after my contract ends in 6 months. However, I’m starting to consider leaving at 3 months instead.

I work minimum wage 45+hours a week (I get off work at 7pm) and I feel undervalued. There were enough red flags to make me immediately decide to leave after my contract ends in 6 months.

I’ve also considered not adding it to my resume at all, but because it’s so hard for fresh grads to get a job in this(and I feel like any) industry, having even just 3 months of expedience might give me some leverage in this industry.

I’d appreciate any feedback and comments!
