Logistically, the AT is pretty straightforward. There are a couple 70-80 mile stretches between resupply in VA and the 100 mile wilderness in ME. Most of them can be broken into shorter stretches at a cost of some inconvenience.
As for making the time, I quit my job to do it northbound in 2010. Best 5.5 months of my life, like your experience on the LT. If you don't have family obligations (partner, dependents, etc), go for it, provided you can afford a reasonable cost per mile and a few months afterwards.

I somehow feel that it would be a challenge to find a new job afterwards, as so many employers have a strong bias against periods which look like "unemployment."
