Narrative:

Departing mem airport climbing to 5000 when departure gave us a clearance to 12000 MSL and a left turn to 080 from a 180 heading. Leaving 5000 ft when our TCASII reported traffic at our 10 O'clock position. As we rolled out on 080 degree our TCASII reported an RA with a descend command. We were climbing out of 5300 so we descended back to 5000 as we visually spotted an medium large transport at our 12 O'clock position. I believe we passed about 1000 ft apart.
