How do you answer this first interview question: "So tell me about yourself"

Hello!

When interviewing for corporate roles, how do you answer "so tell me about yourself", or "tell me about your work experience".

First, is the answer the same for both these questions?
And how long should the answer be?

To give you context, I work in corporate banking, with almost 4 years into my career, and have held four positions so far:
1st - I started in retail banking
2nd - then after 1 yr & 4 months i got my first banking corporate job
3rd - 8 months at a tech start up
4th - another banking corporate job (better than the 2nd)
Laid off...

This question always gets me a little shaken up in the interview and since its usually the first question, it just ruins my whole confidence through out the meeting.
