but.. what if they lowball in the end? isn't that a reason to give up your expected salary?

IMHO I'd rather have the interview and negotiation experience than the time back. Practice makes perfect.

Yea but what about 2-3 years down the line? You've basically set the baseline at which the recruiter will start from. Your next jump will be just maybe +5k instead of +20k since they know how much you made.
