Climbing out of PSP on the Cathedral 1; in the right turn to PSP VOR; SOCAL APP cleared us direct YUCCA intersection leaving 5000 ft. MSL which we did. We were cleared to 10000 ft. MSL with company airbus about MORON cleared to 11000 ft. MSL. Just after we were cleared to 15000 ft. MSL I noticed traffic at our 1130 position about 600 ft. above us right before SOCAL mentioned it was a Cirrus at about 9000 ft. and that it was no factor as it would pass in front of us. The FO (First Officer) was flying and I responded 'looking' to SOCAL so that we could agree on calling it in sight. The FO had just adjusted pitch while hand flying and was pulling the power back to remain under the cirrus when the TCAS issued an Resolution Advisory adjust pitch and the symbology in the HUD (Heads Up Display) was a perfect match to what the FO had already done. The traffic did pass in front of us about 400 ft. above us because of the actions taken by the FO. In the level off we exceeded 250 kts. below 10000 ft. MSL momentarily. Traffic call should have come much earlier from SOCAL APP.
We were climbing out of PSP. I was the PF (Pilot Flying). I was currently hand flying. ATC issued traffic at our 11 o'clock and 3 miles at 9000 ft.; climb maintain 15000 ft. you will pass behind that traffic. We continued climb as normal and prior to even getting up to pitch attitude I noticed this wasn't looking good. I immediately adjusted to level off and fly lower than that traffic. I did verbalize all of this to the Captain. As I was nearing level off we received the RA (I believe it was 'monitor V/S?' (Vertical Speed)). I was already below the pitch the TCAS wanted. We passed behind and about 500 ft. lower. Notified ATC of the RA and continued on my climb. We did exceed 250 knots below 10000 ft. because of the abrupt pitch change and just all that was going on in a very short time. I did resolve the speed rather quickly.Yes I should've gone with my gut and override the thrust levers to pull the power back quicker so as not to exceed the speed or just turned off the AT's (Auto Throttles) for the time being. Also; ATC should've been more conservative about this crossing traffic.
