Message: <blockquote data-quote="AvniD" data-source="post: 109997" data-attributes="member: 17155">I think the balance you need to achieve while talking about a personal story is to refrain from making it a sob story but also from putting it forward as an example of toxic positivity. Treating it as any other challenge you faced helps tone down the discomfort you may feel in opening up to your interviewers. Talk about the key obstacles you faced, the different ways you could have dealt with them and the choices you made that helped you overcome your personal challenges. Go into how this impacted your life and how you intend to take the learnings from it going forward. At the end of the day, if the firm cannot appreciate you discussing a personal challenge candidly in a structured manner or see the immense growth you have shown in overcoming it, then it's simply not the right firm for you and you deserve better. I hope this helps!</blockquote>
