I've been at this for hours. Invalid Channels?

This is how im defining channels

export let channels: { paidJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; commissionJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; forHireJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; unpaidJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; vipJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined };
for (const file of commandFiles) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
    const command: Command = require(`./commands/${file}`);

    if(!command.data || !command.execute) {
        console.log(`Command ${file} is invalid. Skipping`);
        break
    }

    console.log(`Loaded command\t${command.data.name}\t${JSON.stringify(command.options)}`)

    client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
    channels.paidJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.paidJob)
    channels.commissionJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.commissionJob)
    channels.forHireJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.forHireJob)
    channels.unpaidJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.unpaidJob)
    channels.vipJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.vipJob)
    // Handlers

export let channels: { paidJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; commissionJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; forHireJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; unpaidJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined; vipJob: discord.Channel | null | undefined };
for (const file of commandFiles) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
    const command: Command = require(`./commands/${file}`);

    if(!command.data || !command.execute) {
        console.log(`Command ${file} is invalid. Skipping`);
        break
    }

    console.log(`Loaded command\t${command.data.name}\t${JSON.stringify(command.options)}`)

    client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
    channels.paidJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.paidJob)
    channels.commissionJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.commissionJob)
    channels.forHireJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.forHireJob)
    channels.unpaidJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.unpaidJob)
    channels.vipJob = client.channels.cache.get(channelIds.vipJob)
    // Handlers

for some reason my command use.ts is invalid? its all due to this line

const embed = await addPost(job, interaction.user.id, hasRole || false)

const embed = await addPost(job, interaction.user.id, hasRole || false)

Below is the function file. The error occurs due to me assigning to the channel variable.

What error are you getting exactly? Im seeing a lot of code here but I'm actually not sure what the issue is When you say invalid channels is it a Discord API error, or what exactly? Or is it just that you're trying to export them before theyre defined, is that it?
