the challenge with upwork is how much effort and work is required to reach a point where i can find great clients like you.

do you have any advice for someone who can't afford to start at the bottom and work their way up? how do i screen clients and avoid the bad ones?

Unfortunately I have no idea how to help you. There really should be an Upwork competitor with only high-quality employers (agree to certain policies, like no screen monitoring) and contractors. Perhaps there is one and I just don't know about it.
