Is there a “right way” to css properities like these?

Let’s say I’m positioning a button below an image.

I could do something like 

.button {
  Margin-top: 568px;
}

Or I could do

.button {
  Position: relative;
  Top: 40px;
}

Or I could get away with flexboxing it all.

Is there such a thing as “bad css”, especially when you’re starting as a junior, will companies guide you on what they’d prefer?

Ironically, there is "bad CSS", and you've highlighted it in your example. All property names should be in lowercase.
