Any port in a storm. Easier to look for a job when you’ve got one. Take the gig and if you don’t like it, keep looking for another one.

This. 80K is terrible for a senior in NYC. If it’s an opportunity to buff your portfolio that’s a silver lining. If it’s bad all around take it but keep looking and remember that you don’t actually need to put every bit of experience in your resume.

Is it a good agency?

$80k is obviously incredibly low for Sr.

Grab it if it’s offered but keep actively looking and jump ship if you land something better.

If that agency cared about loyalty they would’ve been competitive in their salary offering. Especially since they’re no doubt billing the role to the client at $115K and pocketing the difference.
