Just how bad is the humidity in Singapore compared to the UAE? Never been there. For reference, the UAE is tolerable in my standards, but places I’ve visited like Barcelona are very uncomfortable

Singapore is a wet heat vs Dubai that’s dryer

Humidity in sg is often 70-90% and hits 100%. If you don’t like humidity then I don’t think you should move to Singapore. It’s definitely more humid than Barcelona.

You’ll sweat buckets here- whenever you’re outdoors.
What made it worse is the humidity and density (plenty of people psf compared to other countries)

But the good news - all is manageable- if you maintain a mostly-light diet , eg vegan/ plant-based. And there are plenty of Boost Juice and fresh fruit outlets for you to beat the heat or quench your thirst. Wear comfortable clothing ; nothing too tight or too heavy.

For those of us working with Healthcare clients or in Healthcare, what can we start doing to accelerate healthy change in the industry. It seems like so many people need support and guidance with OCM.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
