Human Factors; Procedure
After departure given heading of 360; climb to 7;000 feet.  Approaching level off we received a TCAS RA due to crossing arrival traffic (right to left) at 8;000 feet. Traffic was in sight prior to event and throughout event. We leveled off at 7;000 feet.  No separation was lost. Aircraft was climbing rapidly to 7;000 due to light weight. The rate of approach triggered the TCAS RA. As pilot flying I should have intervened and reduced our rate of climb upon seeing the traffic and potential conflict. This was my first leg back after two months not flying.
Pilot reported due to light weight and high climb rate the aircraft received a Resolution Advisory.
