Using non-IB offers in IB interviews/recruiting

I know that it's typical and to your advantage to leverage outstanding IB offers to other banks during interview/recruiting season, but does it help at all if the offer is for non-IB?

I have a very good chance of receiving a FT offer from a investment management firm (focuses on fixed income products, $5 bil AUM), due to a family friend who has a lot of influence in the interviewing process. My question is, will an offer from a firm like this hold any weight when talking with MM IBs?

Otherwise I have no incentive to apply and interview.
