Princeton Consulting Group was founded in Sept of 1988 as a technology search firm specializing in the markets of telecommunications, market data, mainframe computing and this new burgeoning market  called client server technology.  Our firm was based on Fulton Street in lower Manhattan and serviced  investment banks, brokerage firms, regional banks, and the ever growing pharmaceutical sector. We learned in the late 80s about program trading , junk bonds, portfolio insurance, and what risk meant .

As the 1990s entered the picture the advent of  the PC and client side development provided a perfect opportunity to build our practice as Princeton moved to Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan..  The landscape of technology changed greatly in our years on Madison Avenue from the influence of European money center banks on our financial sector to this new found technology called the internet.    …During the early to mid 90s we also learned more about what mergers and acquisitions meant to technology.

We also learned about these investment vehicles called hedge funds.  We saw our practice grow as our clients strategies for growth included an insatiable desire for technological innovation. Who couldever forget the      preparation our clients prepared for the big event called Y2K.   We also saw geographic shifts by firms to locations outside of NYC.   Greenwich and Stamford became household names for financial boutiques, Jersey City   NJ entertained the large back office technology needs of investment banks, and the areas of downtown Brooklyn and areas of Queens NY were developed as technology hubs as innovation and employment grew..   Princeton moved during the internet and dotcom era to new offices at 2 Penn Plaza on the West Side of Manhattan.  This era was characterized by exponential growth in businesses that sought to take full advantage of technology with limited attention to business models or plans.

During the fall of 2001 the Dotcom bust started to move full steam ahead… then Sept 11 changed our world and city forever.. We lost friends, business partners, and associates we will never forget and will continue to honor.. Our clients  learned the importance of contingency planning and disaster recovery..  As our economy recovered from the shock of Sept 11 technology continued to play a vital role.. Hedge and Private Equity Funds created growth for talented technology professionals.  These boutique firms now competed for  top talent from developers to infrastructure professionals and our firm serviced these clients on the highest levels.. Princeton relocated to 14 Penn Plaza in Midtown Manhattan in 2005 and opened a secondary location in Edison NJ.

Our firm continues on a quest to provide exemplary service to both our candidates and clients but we never can forget the voyage through time that brought us to this day.. Technology has truly changed our landscape as a country and has played a major role in shaping our economy.
