How do I know if binobola lang ako ng boss ko to take on more responsibility?

I’m a fresh grad and I accepted this new job at a start up (foreign but software is developed here). When they interviewed me it was for an entry level position as a Business Analyst but apparently they liked me so they offered me Projects Coordinator position instead and they said that’s usually given to applicants with more experience. (I believe them because the other P.C.s may mga 2 years experience na)

So they offered me entry level salary which is mga 20k, I negotiated to bump it up to 23k (cause I read online na dapat 15% raise when you negotiate). Pumayag naman so ok.

Now after 3 weeks on the job I’m handling bunch of projects na for our product and getting the hang of things for our product. (theres several products in the company, usually 1 product has 2-4 PCs)

Kinausap ako ng supervisor ko and she said na she & the other manager were talking about how ‘ang galing’ ko daw cause ang bilis ko daw matuto. This other P.C. from another product is resigning so she said they wanted me to take on her projects daw, so I’m not only taking on more projects but I also have to learn how to use this new product.

I mean ok lang naman saakin since I’m up for more responsibilities but Im just wondering if binobola lang ba nila ako when they said they’re impressed with me just so I’ll take on more? I know I’m probably the lowest paid sa mga P.C.s cause I’m a fresh grad so I’m getting this feeling they want to take advantage of that.
