I would add that if vesting is contingent on future employment the ratio should be more favorable towards stock that is not property of the estate.

I think I disagree. If we value assets as of the date of filing, how do these invested stocks have any value? They are unvested.

Do we value the stocks like this:
The percentage that is vested is estate property, and the percent not
vested is not?
For example, if a stock takes 24 months to vest and we are on month 16,
(16/24 = 2/3) then do I multiply the present value of the stock by 2/3 to
get the value of the estate property (which I can then exempt)? And then
the remaining 1/3 is not estate property?
