Narrative:
After completing our initial climb to 2;000 ft on the OAK6 departure from oak we were cleared an unrestricted climb to 15;000 ft. We were in a 4;000 FPM climb and advised by norcal departure to make a left turn to 180 degrees. During that climb; at 7;800 ft and climbing fast I was asked to level off at 8;000 ft which we were unable to do in a timely manner due to our climb rate. As I lowered the nose and reduced power and the climb; we encountered an RA. At the same time norcal advised us to make an immediate left turn to 140 degrees. My training kicked in and I followed the commands from the TCAS and flew the aircraft abruptly into the commanded guidance bars; disregarding the turn to 140 degrees. Just as I was pitching the nose abruptly over to comply with the RA; I saw a single engine aircraft in a very steep left turn at my altitude and within 500 ft of my aircraft. Once I had the traffic in sight; I eased off the TCAS RA commands and flew the aircraft away maintaining visual contact with the single engine plane. We advised norcal of the RA immediately and had no response. Nothing was said after the incident. The problem I have here is that norcal had both of us on radar and turned me (the jet aircraft) into the oncoming light aircraft. This seems to be an issue that is getting worse and needs to be addressed.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A business jet departed OAK on the OAK 6 and during a high climb rate ascent was unable to level off after an amended climb clearance so the pilot took evasive to avoid the near miss traffic also under ATC control.
