What are the prospects of working as a UX designer?

In the last couple of years, there is a greater realisation that good UX can be the differentiator between a good product and a mediocre one, leading to many companies to employ user-centred design. So the demand for UX designers is definitely increasing.

In addition, software and AI engineers are in hot demand in recent years. And with software, there is always UX to be done.

Though, in my personal experience, due to budget/project constraints, oftentimes, software engineers will be tasked or cross-trained to perform UX design work and vice versa. So I would recommend that you get comfortable with software engineering as well to maximise your employability

In Singapore?

Good.

Remote?

Great.

It is a question of finding the right "client" whether you are an employee or a freelancer.
