I will also says signature campaigns, based on what this community is all about, that's why this community become one of the well-known as it started this whole signature campaign first that pays in bitcoin and then later it evolved in bounty paying campaigns which is in token.
And historically, there are bounty that didn't end well, becoming a scam, and so the project failed miserably and then participants complaining about the rewards and so there are scam accusations on a bounty campaign. So for me it's better to go for signature campaign first and then measure how effective it is.
Bounties are more in quantity than signature campaigns. If I can not join signature campaigns because I am a newbie, can not meet criteria from signature campaigns, I can choose bounties as my alternative jobs.
I don't think it is bad choice for a newbie but I will consider your advice more. I don't want to join bounties and waste my time and end it with nothing.
