Narrative:

We were given left turn heading 360 contact departure. We contacted departure and were given a climb to 11;000. Around 3;500 we received a RA and executed a descending turn. Right as the RA went off ATC gave us right turn to 030. We ended our descent around 2;700 and were issued a new clearance direct jeres and climb to 11;000. I believe ATC gave us an incorrect clearance to turn to 360 and to climb to 11;000. It ended up putting us right in the flight path of the other aircraft.
