The question is: do you fullfill the requirements for any other position? If the answer is no, you are a cadet like all the others.
I don't have the impression FI's are considered "different" from any other cadet when applying for flying jobs. There is a lot to be learned, it's a different world. There are some advantages to FI experience, there are also disadvantages. I have seen FI's blast through training because they wanted to learn. And I have seen FI's retrained and retrained with no succes because they couldn't question themselves.
So apply for the cadet job, and go for it. It's your own mentality that will make you succeed.
