Yes; if you master’s is not an MBA you are likely to start as an analyst (perhaps a senior analyst, but this is up to the firms). I have a few friends who’ve done this, with one, for ex. graduating from Columbia’s SIPA with a Master in Public Policy. After working at a top-5 BB, He’s now at a hedge fund (got rejected by virtually all PE shops, though).
