What do people mean when they say "delta" on the job?

[archived_user]

I know they’re not referring to the delta in the options sense, since we don’t deal with options. I feel this is a very basic term, and I’m probably past the time when I can ask a colleague about this lol
I’ve also heard the term used in real estate - any difference in meaning between regular finance, real estate, and options?

I’ve always understood it to be mean, “the difference between”

“Change”, perhaps?
Please give us an example in context.
