Hello!
This is one of the classics of the 1st family of questions you will find in the FIT part of the interview: "Intro and CV questions". Since they are less dense than the behavioural questions that will follow, you should answer in 1-3 mins.
I don´t agree with the "negativity" point, as long as you can tailor the pitch as "this is all I have been able to achieve despite the difficulties"
If you want to deepen your knowledge, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)
It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.
Furthermore, you can find 3 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:
