Our work focuses on the overeducation dynamics during the early careers in public sector. We use the fourth wave of Generation 98 survey, which covers the ten first years of the working life of 1998 school leavers. We examine the overeducation transition depending on the labor market entrance status – civil servant or not – and the gender. We find that overeducation is not a temporary phenomenon; especially for women and that the exit from overeducation state is easier while becoming civil servant. A comparison between statistical measurement and subjective measurement of overeducation reveals the mismatch of the two dimensions of this phenomenon.
