Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?

What the title says, I'm tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.
I'd like to read something different where we're the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender's Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.
Do you have any recommendations?
Current book and upcoming movie version of Project Hail Mary. Kind of. Still reading no spoilers pls
This has been recommended multiple times to me, so guess that's the next one I'm reading after I finish the one I'm reading now. Thanks!
I second that recommendation. Project Hall Mary is probably my favorite book
Project Hail Mary comes to mind
Thanks!
The explanation why humans and aliens were comparably developed made sense.
"The Road Not Taken" by Harry Turtledove.
Will check it out, thanks!

I'm a big fan of C. J. Cherryh's Chanur series, where humans are on an at least equal footing but mainly incidental (except for a few parts). The nice part is you can then read her Cyteen and Foreigner series to find out how being technologically advanced doesn't necessarily always work out well for the humans.
